Welcome to
Wokingham Theatre

Wokingham Theatre is a thriving community theatre, presenting eight major productions a year, alongside Youth Theatre productions, short runs of experimental productions, evenings of new writing, and a wide range of theatrical skills training and workshops, all in our 160+ seat home at Cantley Park in Wokingham.

Founded in 1947, WT is a registered charity and our purpose has always been to promote the enjoyment of theatre in and around Wokingham. The theatre is staffed and managed entirely by volunteers who give their time and skills to support all aspects of our operation, and our membership is made up from a wide array of experiences and backgrounds. We have a wide-reaching diversity and inclusion policy, and we’re always keen to hear from any potential new members thinking about joining us.

ACCESSIBILITY

Wokingham Theatre aims to be accessible to as many people as possible. We provide facilities including wheelchair accessible seats, a hearing loop, and easy access to the theatre & auditorium, but we are aware that everyone’s access needs may be different. We do have a guide available so you can find out about all of our facilities before you visit; to view the guide, discuss your access needs, or to arrange your seat please visit our Accessibility page.

Get Involved At WT

The best way to get involved at Wokingham Theatre is to become a member – in fact,  Wokingham Theatre wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for our brilliant membership which is made up from a wide array of experiences and backgrounds.

We have a policy of colour-conscious casting, a wide-reaching diversity and inclusion policy, and we’re always keen to hear from any potential new members thinking about joining us.

Membership opens up all the doors and opportunities that members of our vibrant theatre enjoy, such as auditions for shows, backstage support, theatrical workshops, play reading and writing groups, front of house support and social events.

As a community theatre that is produced, managed and run entirely by volunteers, there’s never a shortage of ways to get involved here.

Membership is open to everyone, so whether you’re a seasoned amateur actor looking to tread our boards, you want to meet new theatre friends, or just want to get involved in the local arts scene, there’s something for everyone.

Members just pay an annual fee, then once you’ve joined you can get as involved with as much or as little as you’d like to at WT.
