'Thespis' - a newsletter of amateur productions in the area
'Thespis' is a newsletter, produced by John Miles, of all the information on amateur drama productions in the Torbay and South Devon area.
The aim is for local groups to share information, help each other with casting, prop loans and to avoid clashes of production choices and dates.
If you are interested in taking part in amateur drama shows then this is the place to check out which groups exist, what shows are coming up and when auditions are being held.
Have fun on the stage or behind the scenes.
Update - 28.10.25
It's nearly November and the panto season is in rehearsal around The Bay.
We have just come back from London where we visited two new (to us) theatres; The Bridge to see 'The Lady from the Sea' and Marylebone Theatre for 'The Wanderers'. Both were thought-provoking, in their subject matter and the innovative directing. I think we might go to London again......
Unfortunately Bovey Tracey Players have had to cancel their production of 'Educating Rita'. It might be revisited at another time; let's hope so.
The clocks may have gone back, but local theatre continues forward!
Regards, John.
