We usually produce two plays each year, one at the end of March, the other at the end of November. REHEARSALS are held each Monday and Friday at the Village Hall from 8 until 10 pm. Please drop in if you want to get a feel for it. Dress rehearsals take place on the last Friday and Monday before the performance. LIGHTING, SOUND, WARDROBE, PROPS, PUBLICITY, FRONT of HOUSE are all organised during the rehearsal period, and provide opportunities to help with staging plays if taking a part is too big a commitment.

Young Theatre has produced over 100 productions in its 46 year history. Many were written specifically for the group by Ian R Wallace, Mark Britton, and Mike Wicherek. The latter took three one act plays to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1983. The group has performed everything from musicals to Shakespeare and Pinter to Euripides. The group revived the Beaconsfield Family Pantomime in 2009 with Cinderella.. Young Theatre has enjoyed success in local one act play festivals, winning over 120 awards. In 2004 the prodcution of Ball Boys won the All England Theatre Festival, taking all three trophies at the final. It went on to represent England in the British final, where Young Theatre became the first youth group to win. A staggering acheivement. The Young Theatre is not just about performers. The group relies very heavily on a team of young theatre technicians and young business people - who may also perform, if they wish. Our technicians do everything from design to costing to construction/implementation of set, lighting, costume and sound. The group also needs business minded young people to handle all the groupís marketing activities from the website to press to box office, the groupís finances from planning to cash-flow to accounting, the group ís administration from membership records to minuting meetings to organising social events. All we ask is an interest in theatre and a commitment to excellence. We meet nearly every Sunday between 2pm and 5.30pm at The Curzon Centre, Beaconsfield

We welcome new members. That does not just mean that we want new members, but that we do, indeed, welcome them. We have a proud tradition of being a friendly, open group of people and we are determinedly non-cliquey. If you join us wanting to act, then do not worry that you will have to take your place in a lengthy queue for a leading part, you may well find yourself in such a role faster than you thought! We aim to make the most of the talents of all our members; we have no acting hierarchy - everybody gets a chance to show what they can do and to progress. There are no dead mens shoes in TTB! If your interests are in one of the back-stage disciplines; lighting, sound, set construction, costume, etc., then you will be particularly welcome, as these are roles that are always difficult to fill. You can always come along to one of our regular Monday meetings, where you will receive a warm welcome. We will be happy to tell you what we are about, what our plans are and show you how you could fit in. The group meets most Mondays (Bank Holidays often excluded) from 7.30pm to 10.00pm at Wavendon Gate Pavilion, Isaacson Drive, Wavendon Gate, Milton Keynes, Bucks. Contact via website
Our key principle is to provide high quality theatre to audiences in non theatrical spaces. We are not a drama club. We recruit actors and technicians on a project by project basis and have a rigorous and professional approach to the work. ...the traditional image of amateur dramatics is of a fixed membership putting on large cast plays, mostly to family and friends...one group has broken away from the stereotype by staging riskier works with invited actors and directors, chosen strictly on merit - so bringing new ideas and a fresh approach... Ubiquitous has an unwavering focus on the quality of the work, and this comes through time after time...I was astonished, amazed and delighted, our space was transformed for the evening by the quality of the acting and the commitment of the whole company.

We are a friendly and welcoming amateur dramatic society with members based in Buckinghamshire. We put on one musical per year, usually in May, in The Court Theatre in Tring, and we put on a fundraising show in Long Marston Village Hall in November. Our last few shows have been very successful and we have won awards from NODA for best male in a musical, best female and best chorus. We welcome all who would like to join our chorus and we audition for principal roles. We rehearse on Tuesdays in Long Marston village hall (or venues nearby). We also hold various social events throughout the year and enjoy eating out together.
