Upcoming Shows
October Production - Blue Stockings - Workshop & Auditions
Come along and join us to find out more about our October play at the Concordia Theatre, Blue Stockings by Jessica Swale.
This play tells the story of women’s fight for the right to graduate from Cambridge University. It is a heartwarming and dramatic show set against the backdrop of a rising suffragette movement and follows the stories of four women and their fight for acceptance and equality in a man’s world.
Come along to our first meeting on 28th April at 7pm in the theatre's rehearsal room to have a read, find out more about the characters and pick up audition pieces.
Everyone is welcome and auditions will take place the following Sun on 5th May. If you have any questions in the meantime please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. After a six day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie's loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic Velasco, where everything that can go wrong, does.

In a busy call centre, the four female employees of Aphrodite, a sex toy manufacturer, take telephone orders for Teasey Maids, Titivators and rotating pearl g-strings. Beneath the cheerful customer service and easy banter, however, these very different women nurse their own desires and disappointments. Sex Cells is a very funny, poignant play about motherhood, friendship, love and loss.
