To ensure everyone feels comfortable when visiting our theatre, we’ve created an SLT Visual Story. Visual Stories are intended to help prepare any new visitors for the experience of visiting a new venue and to help familiarise them with their surroundings. Our visual story includes photographs and descriptions which talk you through the spaces you will be visiting and what to expect from the different types of shows we put on, how ticketing works and what facilities you may use.

Happy New Submissions! Our next submission period pops out like a New Year Baby on 1st January, all sparkly and shiny and smelling of Johnson’s baby powder! See off those January blues by fishing out all those plays that you’ve always wanted to direct (or want to be in and force on someone else to direct). The new submission period will open on January 1st until midnight on the 31st. We’re looking for dynamic, fun, interesting, dramatic, comedic, life-changing and […]

Hello to all SLT members and friends, and a very special welcome to everyone who has joined the theatre since my last update – a brilliant 42 of you. I know you’ll love being a part of this amazing place. And don’t forget that the more involved you get, the more fun you’ll have. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is nearly upon us! I hope you’ve got your tickets to our splendid Christmas show (obviously I’m not at all […]

Back in early September in our last Membership Update, we reported that there was a levelling off of numbers with paid up subscriptions. Well, we’re pleased to report that things are back on the up again after a good quarter. We had a good few shows with large casts, which attracted newbies as well as other members back into the fold, and that trend seems to be continuing. Maybe there is an upside to the evenings drawing in! It’s likely […]

Meetings postponed until further notice Are you a budding playwright? Have you been working on a script that you’d like others to read? Or are you an actor/director who loves the idea of bringing new writing to the stage for the first time? Do you have an idea for a piece of theatre, but aren’t sure how to progress with it? Following the success of our short writing courses over the past year, we have a monthly meet-up for SLT […]

From 29 November – 8 December 4 – 9pm daily “Exit, pursued by a bear” has to be one of the best-loved stage directions of any play ever, so when the Norwood Forum announced they were setting up a walking trail around our neighbourhood based on the theme of ‘Wild West Norwood”, we couldn’t resist registering and preparing our contribution to feature it. Along with West Norwood residents and businesses, we’re taking part in Window Wanderland – people will be […]

Saturday 7 December, 8pm We’re having a bit of a do for all our lovely volunteers, so whether you’re a Front of House/Box Office meeter and greeter extraordinaire, a benevolent beer-pulling Bar buddy, a wondrous Wardrobe wizard, a crackingly creative Backstage/Tech/Get-in/Get-out crew member, you’re all invited. There’ll be a free welcome drink on arrival, plus food, and we’ll play some party games with lots of fabulous prizes. Dress code? Christmas jumpers, festive hats and sparkly sequins are de rigeur darlings. […]
