Welcome to the Shropshire Drama Company (SDC) website.

We hope you find the enclosed information useful. If you would like to be kept up to date with what’s happening at SDC then do please get in touch via the Contact page HERE.

The cast and crew would like to thank the venues, the sponsor The Kitchen Depot, Shrewsbury and the fantastic audiences for supporting our recent short tour of Bouncers. We had an absolute blast and will be back again in the autumn. Meanwhile, have a great summer everyone!

How we began
SDC was founded in 1958 as Shropshire County Drama Group by the late Bert Amies, OBE, the former county drama adviser. The name was changed to Shropshire Drama Company in 2005. It became a registered charity in 2024 – number: 1207580.

Our aim
Enshrined in the constitution of SDC is Bert’s original brief to perform ‘challenging, worthwhile and experimental drama’, which up until recently was SDC’s strapline. It is now ‘engaging live theatre’.

What we offer
SDC aspires to provide its audiences with high quality performances covering a wide genre of plays. Its members have the chance to be involved in productions at a variety of venues. Opportunities are also available to develop and hone skills in various aspects of theatre, through an expansive and continually reviewed programme of workshops and other social activities.

Interested?
If you are attracted to the idea of being part of a dynamic, friendly company – please get in touch.
