Membership Hessle Theatre Company is a non-professional community theatre company, and a registered charity, staging major productions with the highest regard for artistic excellence. We are affiliated to the National Operatic & Dramatic Association (Noda) and we class ourselves as an adult company (16yrs+). *The exception to this is when a production calls for younger performers to audition. However, we are not a school or an academy and therefore do not run regular classes and workshops. Our performers are engaged, for each production, through an open audition process and our backstage and front of house teams through an informal interview. We also encourage our acting members, when not performing in a show, to help out behind the scenes in either a back stage or front of house capacity. We are always seeking new members (both performing and non-performing) and more information can be found in the joining section. We’re not just about putting on shows however; development of long-lasting friendships is also important to us, which results in members organising many social events. 2023 Bill Sellars Rose Bowl
