always grateful for your support

Every year we rely on our audiences to keep buying tickets for our shows and supporting our fundraising events. Alongside the hundreds of dedicated hours given for free by performers, stage crew, front of house, parents and supporters, without your support we simply couldn’t stage our award-winning shows. But it comes at a cost; shows can cost in the region of £30,000 when you consider the costumes, sets, lighting, make-up, stage hire, licences and sound. And it’s not just about the shows; our society has been a springboard for the careers of young performers, from stars of the stage and small screen to West End choreographers. We’d love your support to keep getting better every year, and helping others reach their theatre dreams.

There’s lots of ways you can support us:

One of the important things about becoming a member is it gives you the chance to take part in our shows, both on and off stage. But it doesn’t stop there; being a member also gives you access to special member-only special offers and social events throughout the year. It is also a brilliant way for you to support us, and allows us to keep producing our award-winning shows every year. The membership year starts on July 1 and costs £25 per year for adults and £10 for those aged 17 and under.

If you’ve been inspired to simply support us with a one-off donation, we’ve made it simple with our donate button below. Your help will allow us to keep entertaining hundreds of audiences who travel from all over the place to watch our award-winning shows. Without your support we simply couldn’t stage our shows and give young, aspiring performers the chance to show off their talents. Thanks again for your ongoing support of our work to keep amateur theatre in Somerset alive. You can also use this button to make a payment, such as for audition or playing fees.

Sometimes our supporters don’t want to take part in our shows or become members, and instead they want to help us by offering regular financial support. Our patrons are generous donors who offer both small sums and sometimes larger amounts. Whatever the amount we’re grateful for our patrons’ ongoing support. Find out more about becoming a patron by completing our form below.

Your support that helps us put on our shows goes beyond financial help. We rely on many helpers and huge numbers of volunteering hours to keep amateur theatre alive in Somerset. If you’ve got time, hidden talents and perhaps materials which could help us fundraise or stage our shows, please get in touch.
