We are an amateur theatre group in Pinner, in the London Borough of Harrow, half an hour by tube from Baker Street. If you are interested in taking part in amateur drama, whether as an actor or helping back stage, please explore our site and contact us for further information. All newcomers are very welcome! If you have talent, we'll help you find it. Have a look at our past productions. If you would like to be added to our mailing list to receive flyers for our forthcoming productions, by post or by email, email us.
"You must join an amateur dramatic society," his doctor prescribed. "There you'll meet all sorts of people under the pleasantest conditions, and you'll find the world isn't nearly as bad as you think". An article in a 1950 edition of John Bull magazine.
Here are some of our programmes from 1936 onwards. They give a flavour of the plays we produced over the years during wartime and peace time, the members who performed in them and the local shops and traders who advertised in our programmes. In the early years one of our Vice Presidents was J.B. Priestley.
Our November 2019 production consisted of three short comedies. Our February 2020 production was Our Town by Thornton Wilder.
Our May 2020 production was to have been the Neil Simon comedy-drama Lost In Yonkers. Due to the impact of the coronavirus epidemic we had to postpone this production. It is hoped that we might be able to perform it in June 2021.
In the Summer our club has traditionally organized play readings at the homes of members but this year we decided that the play readings would be Zoom meetings. We plan to continue with Zoom play readings in 2021.

February Production
Our Town by Thornton Wilder 20 to 22 February 2020 A landmark in American drama and set in the early 20th Century, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play tells the story of a small town, Grover's Corners, in New Hampshire, and in doing so tells us the story of every town, the whole world over. We follow the Gibbs and Webb families, residents of the town, through twelve years of life changes – from the familiar in Act I as "Daily Life", to the romantic in Act II as "Love and Marriage", to the devastating in Act III as "Death and Eternity". Through the young lovers Emily Webb and George Gibbs, their strong and loving parents, and the many other Grover's Corners' locals, Thornton Wilder delivers universal truths about what it means to be human, and mortal. |
