Ever Fancied Treading the Boards?

Our resident theatre group, Centre Stage Theatre will be staging the popular musical, ‘Annie’ in February 2025.
We are urgently seeking new members to take part.
You don’t need any previous experience, we welcome ‘first-timers’ as well as more accomplished performers. There are many parts, large and small, in this show.
Please note that we have a full complement of children for the show, so, unfortunately, we are unable to accept anyone 16 or under. If being on stage is not your thing , we also need a lot of help in backstage roles. We build all our own sets and make the vast majority of our costumes and properties. If you have practical or technical skills, or would just like to help out, we’d be delighted to see you. We are a very friendly and sociable group.

To find out more, without any commitment, please message Richard on 07723 506084 or email centrestage@shirleycentre.co.uk

We operate as a not for profit charity, number 229066, and any venue hire fees we charge are ploughed back into the upkeep of the building and the Community Association’s charitable aims. Our trustees are all unpaid volunteers who work hard to keep this venue running as a community asset for the people of Shirley.
