Welcome

Welcome to the Witham Dramatic Club Website.
We are a friendly amateur theatre company based in Witham, Essex, that enjoys providing entertainment to others. We stage three productions a year at the town's Public Hall, normally in March, June and November. But it's not just about getting your name up in lights. Although everybody gets a chance to capture their bit of the limelight there are many different aspects to putting on a production. Just some of these are:

Directing Properties Make Up

Design Costumes Sound

Lighting Scenery Painting Front of House

To find out more about us follow the links above. Here you will be able to read about the history of the Club, what we are up to at the moment, how to join and much, much more.

News

Death and the Maiden

Our next production, Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman, is rapidly approaching. This is a wonderful drama set in post-dictatorship Chile and is an examination of revenge and retribution vs. justice. The play will be at the Public Hall for just three perfomances from the 21st to the 23rd of June. For details go to the Productions page.

Time of My Life

Our recent production of Alan Ayckbourn's Time of my Life was a complete sell out for all performances, which has to be a first! To find out more, go to Productions

The Public Hall

A short while ago a charitable company took over the running of the Public Hall from the District Council and plans are in hand for some improvements, both to the building itself and the programme of activities that take place there. The intention is to build it up as an entertainment venue for the people of Witham and the surrounding area. There is already a comprehensive range of events planned, some are being promoted by the Public Hall Trust, while others are being presented by new or existing hirers. For more information got to Witham Public Hall Trust
