'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.

Latest update 3.2.2024

Hello, again.

The panto season is over for another year, and so we now move on to new pastures. 

Several companies have announced their programmes for next season, and the musical societies have penciled-in their forthcoming shows, so there's a lot to digest in this latest 'Thespis'. 

As most performances start at 7.30pm I won't always be putting in times in future, and in all cases I stress that you should contact the theatres before you leave home... just in case! 

Would the publicity people for the various societies please contact me with the details of their forthcoming productions; don't rely on me picking up casual snippets of information from Facebook. Ideally, let me know the title, dates, venue, author, director /MD / Choreographer and please always double-check that I have the up-to-date information in these pages.  

I need full information to correctly publicise your shows.

I'll see you soon in a foyer near you! 

Thanks, John Miles.
