Headgate Theatre Productions was established to ensure that the theatre’s programme included a wide range of drama productions alongside those produced by our hirers, as well as a means of generating further revenue to help run the building. We welcome interest from performers, directors and those who might help with technical support.

Act V get involved in all things theatre! Our weekly sessions at the Headgate run on Monday mornings from 10.15am- 1pm in our friendly, supportive environment and are open to those aged 50+ (or thereabouts!).
Each session includes tea/coffee and biscuits. Break-times are always lively, and a place where new friendships are made!

Headgate Young Company (HYC) – all performance, production and creative roles will be undertaken by people aged 16-21, with guidance from experienced facilitators and supported by our volunteers.
The sessions will be innovative and challenging, and participants will be given the opportunity to develop theatre skills and knowledge across a range of genres. There are performance opportunities throughout the year.

The Headgate Theatre is a volunteer-built community who all share a passion for developing exciting theatre. We are always looking for more people to join us. We have a range of opportunities – whether that be engaging more with the public or gaining worthwhile experience in backstage assistance and technical support to our in house productions.

During the school holidays the Headgate Theatre has regularly run musical theatre workshops for those aged 8 to 16 years. Packed with fun, the workshops include the opportunity to learn performance skills, and finish with a free performance for an invited audience.

Throughout the year the Headgate offers a range of community activities including Yoga and Pilates (coming in 2024) to engage with our local community. Whether you enjoy singing or exercising, we’ve got something going on for you.
