About Us
We are a small but lively Theatre Group based in Timsbury in North East Somerset.
We aim to put on a play in the Spring, an entertainment evening in the early summer and our widely renowned pantomime in December.
We meet in the Conygre Hall, North Road, Timsbury most Tuesday evenings at 8pm and are always interested in greeting new members. You don’t even have to get up on stage – we are always seeking people with varied skills to help with productions, from scene building to costumes and music.
We also have an active social calendar, with theatre trips, skittles evenings, an annual dinner, a Treasure Hunt and various other fun activities. During the summer we have play readings to pick the following year’s productions – there is always something going on!
Annual Charity
Each year we raise money for a charity, members vote on the charity at our AGM and at each production we collect donations.
Our charity for 2023 is Happy Landings animal shelter which is based near Shepton Mallet, the charity owns a 5 acre site and is a mixed animal shelter, taking in various types of animals.
Our charity for 2022 was Billy Chip, we are very pleased to let you know that a cheque for £550 has been sent, thank you all for your generousity

George Toone
Committee Member
Geroge has been with the group since 2010 and took a place on the committee in 2022. He is continually astonished by how many weird and wonderful costumes actually suit him, whether that be a tweed skirt or glittery pantaloons. He can often be seen treading the boards in the spring or summer show. The group is very much a family affair as he often performs with his uncle, Ian Clark. George lives in Wells with his wife Rebecca and golden retriever Rupert.
