Shaftesbury Arts Centre Music And Drama Group

The Music and Drama Group is a dynamic and creative group that brings amateur dramatic theatre to life at Shaftesbury Arts Centre.

We stage a core of four shows a year, from a regular winter pantomime in January, a spring play, a summer show and an autumn play, along with other performance opportunities along the way. We also run three thriving Youth Theatre groups for ages 7-20 yrs old.

Whether you’re drawn to the allure of the spotlight, the creative pull of behind-the-scenes magic, or the intricacy of scriptwriting, there’s a role for everyone in the world of Music and Drama. From acting and directing to set design, lighting, costume creation, and more, Shaftesbury Arts Centre productions are a vibrant tapestry of talents that come together to tell compelling stories. No matter your experience level or area of interest, there are numerous ways to get involved.

Dive in, learn, collaborate, and become a part of our ever-growing theatrical family.
Our aim is to produce high quality and enjoyable theatre experiences in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

The Music and Drama Group meets Tuesday and Thursday evenings during rehearsals for shows, from 7.30pm in the Arts Centre. Age restriction is 9+ for our main shows and 7+ for Youth Theatre.

If you would like to get involved, then we would love to hear from you. Find out more here, or email us at stage@shaftesburyartscentre.org.uk.
