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.

Announcing the 2026/27 season at Wokingham Theatre

Our Artistic Director Thomas Atkinson-Joy has revealed what plays are in store for the 2026/27 Season at Wokingham Theatre, which runs from September 2026 to July 2027. Announcing my first season as Artistic Director of Wokingham Theatre is a hugely exciting and humbling moment for me, and I am beyond excited to finally be able to share it. We read over 80 plays in the process of putting this programme together, and what has emerged is something I believe is genuinely bold, genuinely ambitious, and genuinely thrilling. At the heart of the season is a desire to bring together the very best of t

Audition Notice: The Welkin

We are delighted to share audition details for our October show, The Welkin, by Lucy Kirkwoord. The Story Rural Suffolk, 1759.

The court is forced to pause her execution and summon a jury of 12 local, ordinary women to decide her fate.

It explores how politics affects personal lives through the marriage of Robin, a Tory MP and Diana, his heavy drinki
