Membership

Wokingham Theatre wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for our brilliant members, and our membership 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.

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.

Getting Involved

The best way to get involved at Wokingham Theatre is to become a member. This opens up all the doors and opportunities that members of our vibrant theatre enjoy, such as auditions for shows, backstage support, front of house and social events.

In fact, as a community theatre that is produced, managed and run entirely by volunteers, there’s never a shortage of ways to get involved here, and you can find out all about them via our regular email newsletter, Prompt.

With regular social events and a packed calendar of productions, as well as membership extras such as workshops, play reading groups, and a writing group, there’s plenty to enjoy at WT. Plus you’ll also get a direct say over how WT is run at our annual AGM.

There’s also plenty of ways to volunteer your time without even being involved in shows, such as helping with theatre marketing, the box office, social media, finance, operations, website admin and more.

Membership is open to everyone and – unlike many other societies – there are no individual show fees, just one 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.

Theatre Tours

For anyone considering joining but still not sure, we offer the chance of a tour round the theatre so you can get a feel for our facilities. Just drop us a message through the Contact Us form online, and we’ll put you in touch with the appropriate contact.
