About Shoestring

Founded in 1985, Shoestring Theatre Company is an amateur dramatics community group for enthusiastic people - we aim to inspire and educate people of all ages in different forms of theatre. 

Since then, we've put on in excess of thirty pantomimes, as well as a number of summer shows! We also take part in events in our local community, including Brandon's Christmas lights switch on.

We are a volunteer-run organisation and rely on funds raised at our events, as well as generous grants from our local community, to keep us moving and putting on great shows!

Meet the team!

Our committee is made up entirely of volunteers, who give up their time to ensure there is always a warm, welcoming place for everyone to come and take part in the performing arts! Get to know them below:
