About Us

History

The group started in 1980 and produced its first production at the old Pumpkin Theatre in Richmond. Because of the size of the group, the following year we performed at the Renaissance Theatre at Kew High School and have been there ever since. 

Aims

The group aims to help children, not just with the development of theatrical skills, but with more valuable life skills such as self-esteem, respect for others, self-confidence in front of groups, etc. Children are not auditioned. Anyone is eligible to join regardless of ability.
