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.
Our next production will be a touring show of the popular comedy Bouncers by John Godber. Set in a night club during the 1980s, Bouncers is a hilarious, fast-moving, raw and physical play about an evening on the town seen from the viewpoint of four men on the door – Lucky Eric, Jedd, Les and Ralph. The men are at once themselves and then every character they happen to meet, whether they are boys looking to get lucky or girls looking to make do. Audiences will be transported back to the era of bright colours, shoulder pads, fingerless gloves, leg warmers and the very best in 80s’ pop music!
We will be performing the show at the venues listed below. All performances start at 8pm. Click on the venue name to purchase tickets.
Friday 13 June – The Assembly Rooms, Ludlow, Shropshire
Saturday 14 June – Montgomery Town Hall, Powys
Friday 20 June – Wem Town Hall, Shropshire
Saturday 21 June – The Hive, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
We look forward to seeing you there!
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.
