How to join us


Anyone can buy tickets for our productions - but if you'd like to become more involved, we have two types of membership ...


FRIENDS OF THE TOWER THEATRE

  • A bi-monthly newsletter
  • Free admission to regular talks, musical and social events and playreadings.

We are especially keen to welcome new members for our production teams ...
Eighteen productions per year create lots of interesting openings so whether you are a beginner or an old hand, we would like to hear from you.
Here are the key production team positions:

  • Stage Managers, Deputies and Assistants

These are valuable skills to us, so don’t hold back!
If you would be interested in joining a fun, vibrant and busy theatre company and are willing to wield a hammer, needle or laptop to create some magic on stage – drop us an E-mail.

TOWER THEATRE COMPANY MEMBERS
can audition for all our shows (up to 18 productions a year!) and vote at our Annual General Meeting ... all for the bargain price of £50 a year!

To become an Acting Member you must join as a Friend of the Tower Theatre first.
You'll then be invited to come to a general Company Audition where you'll be asked to perform two contrasting monologues for our audition panel. Company auditions are held once a month. For more details contact Peter Westbury (Auditions Co-ordinator) through the Tower Theatre Office.

You can also join the Company as a Non-Acting Member by simply applying to the Company Committee and then paying your subscription.

Acting with the Tower Theatre is only one way of being part of the Company. To put on the show we also need Directors, Designers, Backstage Crews, Front of House staff, Publicity ... the list goes on. As an example of what it takes to get a show on the stage, here's a series of photos showing how one of our shows is put together in the theatre ...
