The Group has been going since 1996. We are very lucky to have so many talented individuals who share the same sense of fun, creativity and team spirit. It isn't all about performing on stage either. There are those of us who would rather help behind the scenes. Their expertise in stage production, sound and lighting and general "techie" stuff is essential to our productions. Some of us are creative with costumes and set building, you'd be amazed at what they can conjure up from a bit of cardboard and crimpolene. If you think you'd like to be a part of Alternate Shadows, drop us a line, follow us on Facebook or any of the social media platforms, come and see one of our shows, whatever you feel comfortable with we'd love to hear from you and we can promise a warm welcome.
