How do I buy tickets?
Pick a show on What's on, choose a performance and click Book. Tickets are sold online, and you'll get them by email straight away.
Where are your shows performed?
It depends on the production. Each show page lists its venue with a link to the map, so check there before you head out.
Do I need experience to audition?
Not at all. We hold open auditions for every show and welcome all skill levels, whether it's your first time or your fiftieth. See Auditions for what's open now.
I'd rather be backstage. Can I help?
Yes, please! Building, painting, lighting, sound, stage management and front of house all need people, and no experience is necessary. Our team will help you learn the ropes. Get involved →
How do I become a member?
Membership starts from $10 for students, $30 for an individual and $50 for a family, and it's needed to take part in our shows. Join or renew online →
