PAST PRODUCTIONS

ADULT EDUCATION COLLEGE

Click here to see our Recent Shows, all performed at Wolverhampton Arts Centre (formerly Newhampton Arts Centre). We moved there in 2022 and here you can see our Earlier Shows at WAC.

From 2011 to 2020 we performed at The Victory Hall in Lower Penn where we installed black curtains, a lighting rig and raked seating to create a 'black box' theatre.

Between 1999 and 2011 we set up The Malthouse at Wightwick Manor as an intimate studio theatre (thanks in no small part to Monty Smith being both a member of Studio 61 and the retiring property manager at Wightwick).

In 1992 we moved to the Derry Hall at Wolverhampton Grammar School where we presented both 'on stage' and 'in the round' productions.

Prior to this we performed at The Adult Education College in Old Hall Street in the (then) town centre.

The group first produced plays at The Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Technical College in Wulfruna Street, now part of the University.
