Please note: the People’s is an amateur theatre company so no cast or crew are paid to be involved.
People’s Panto rehearsals tend to start in October. Depending on your role, there may be some flexibility of how often you are required to attend but this is at the discretion of the director. If you have any questions regarding the rehearsal schedule and commitment required, please email [email protected]

If you wish to get involved in this production and are not yet a member, we will ask you to become a provisional member at the audition. You need to contact [email protected] before the audition day to arrange this.
Provisional membership costs £10 (payable card or cash). More information about being a member can be found at https://www.peoplestheatre.co.uk/uploads/peoples_theatre_welcome_info.pdf
If you are cast, you will be required to become a full member to accept the role and take part. Full membership costs £55 per year (£35 for people aged 65+, students or unwaged). Membership can be paid in full, or in quarterly instalments via Standing Order.
The People's Theatre are committed to having a more diverse membership. We want to better reflect the communities that live in the North East. For example, all plays are cast as gender neutral and we are keen to welcome more people from black and minority ethnic communities.
There are lots of roles to get involved with, backstage, and front of house as well as on the stage. We’re a supportive community theatre where you’ll learn new skills, meet new people, and have lots of fun.
