Origins
Founded in 1924, the Wilmslow Green Room Society is one of the
oldest Amateur Dramatic Societies in the UK. In the beginning we were "strolling
players" performing wherever a venue could be found. In 1989, after a superb
fund raising effort, a victorian cottage and an old shirt factory were
converted into a modern theatre. After 65 years the society had its own
home.
Activities
The theatre has seating capacity for up to 85 and provides access
and facilities for wheelchair users.
Our programme of productions is chosen to provide a varied and challenging
season of plays, using innovative and adventurous stage designs, and is
well supported by local people.
Refreshments of tea or coffee are available during the interval, or,
if you prefer, you can buy drinks from the bar, which is open until 11pm
each evening during,and after, productions.
On Saturday mornings, except during July
and August, the coffee bar is open to the public from 10.30am - 12 noon. Here
you will get a warm welcome from members and have an opportunity to look around our
premises.
An active social committee organises a full programme of events throughout
the season, and our publicity committee keep you up to date with all details
of these and forthcoming events.
Wardrobe
Costumes are available for hire from the theatre
each Tuesday evening from 7pm until 9pm except during performance weeks.
For specific queries, you can email the Wardrobe.
Patronage
The society welcomes support from the business
community and from individuals in its fund raising activities. You may help by sponsoring a
season or individual plays or providing raffle prizes and donations towards
theatre equipment.
The society will make available an area for the sole use of sponsors
to display their goods and services. For further information please mail
us.
Membership
Amateur theatre offers a variety of challenges - not simply acting,
but set design, scenery building, make-up, wardrobe, stage lighting and
sound. You don't have to be an expert, just come with enthusiasm and commitment
and you'll find a friendly welcome whatever your interest - and AGE IS
NO BARRIER.
The Green Room has a thriving Youth Theatre Group. Drama Groups meet on Saturdays at the Theatre, and the children have many opportunities to perfom, with every effort taken to cast them in the season's plays where appropriate.
