So what's it all about then ?

Theatre 48 takes its name from the year in which it was founded, 1948. We have had several rehearsal venues over the years and at present we rehearse at Kingslea Primary School, Horsham (formerly Chesworth).

We present two productions a year both in the Capitol studio. Rehearsals are normally held on the evenings of Mondays and Wednesdays, with occasional Fridays.

We have regular Tuesday evening meetings, currently on the first Tuesday of each month, and a Summer play reading season. The Tuesday evening meetings might be quizzes, talks, rehearsed play readings, drama games, poetry readings, etc. These social evenings are open to all members, acting or non acting and refreshments are on hand.

A monthly newsletter is sent to all members giving details of forthcoming activities and any matters relevant to the society from either committee meetings or outside sources.

The society consists of associate members and full acting members. Full acting members are able to take part in all aspects of the productions, from directing through to all the back stage positions - props, costumes, staging, technical, prompt and generally lending a hand.

As with any dramatic group, no one is expected to do anything they do not wish. Acting standards vary from those who are happy to take the lead to those who just like to take on small parts.
