Washington Theatre Group

The Washington Theatre Group has been running for over 30 years now. It was originally based at 'Washington School' and was called the 'Geordie Theatre Group'. It was first formed in 1976 and moved to the 'Art Centre Washington' when it opened in 1977, and was renamed the Washington Theatre Group.

Its members meet at the Washington Arts Centre every Thursday at 7.30pm till 9.30pm. Recent shows have included A Night of Horror, pantomimes such as Peter
Pan-tomime (2006) and Cinderella (2007). Other shows have been fables, comedies, serious drama and murder mysteries.

Everyone in the group is encouraged to have a go at whatever aspect of the theatre they are interested in, from acting to set building, from directing, producing, scriptwriting to technical, music and costume making. But what is most important is that we have fun and work well as a team, not just for its members but to perform a good show for the its audience and the community
