About us


We are a small multi-cultural drama group based in the London Borough of Brent. We are open to all and encourage members to take an active part in our productions whether performing, backstage or front of house. We usually mount two productions each year as well as performing at Borough festivals and community events.

We were formed in 1948, more than sixty years ago, and started out as part of a youth club. We have never been a particularly large group usually numbering between 10 and 20 members. Our small size makes us a very friendly and welcoming group and means that everyone has a go at every aspect of theatre, from acting and directing to make up and set building.

The past few years have seen a change in our fortunes as membership has increased and we have secured better venues for performance. We now meet at St Mungo’s Centre. We perform our plays at Malorees Junior School. We were successful in applying for a Lottery grant to improve our performances and equipment and we also received a Millennium grant to produce a video history. Further Awards of Arts For All grants were received in 2006 and 2009 for our work within the community.

We received charitable status on the basis of the strong community content of our work.

For further details please contact, Cathy, our Secretary, telephone 020 8452 5239 or Martin, our Chair, telephone 020 8450 8505 or email us.

We always welcome new volunteers. Please contact us by phone or email before you set out.

We are happy to welcome volunteers from all over the world. Our group currently includes speakers of French, Italian, Greek and German and our recent volunteers have included speakers of Polish and Bulgarian.
