Progressive Players (Gateshead) Limited

The Progressive Players is an amateur dramatic group who aim to present a professional quality show.
The possibilities for getting involved in the theatre are many and varied, and not restricted to appearing on the stage. In addition to performing, the theatre needs people who are creative or good with their hands. You can help with sound, lights, set building, design, box office, publicity, wardrobe, bar work, and more. Most of our active members take on a variety of tasks, so that they are involved in every production in some capacity.

Once a month, a future play is 'read' in the club room. Not an audition, the reading night allows members the opportunity to be heard reading aloud if they wish. It gives members who lack the confidence to perform before a real audience, the chance to 'experience a part' in the company of their friends. For casting purposes, we maintain a volunteer system - people interested in a part put their names forward prior to the casting.
