Is it showtime for you at SLT?
Scroll to see what you can get involved in, how it all works and much more...
You can now see the room and at what time your rehearsals are scheduled at a click of a button. No logins, no passwords and no technical knowledge required.
As well as rehearsals, (prefixed Reh:) the calendar displays lots of other activities at the SLT Fire Station, (including auditions, prefixed AUD:) so you can check on the event you're headed to as well as whether rooms might be free.
The key rooms and spaces are colour coded for 'at a glance' convenience.
Kit Room is in gold.
Fly Loft is in red.
The Theatre is in blue.
The Members’ Bar is a comfortable, welcoming space located in the basement of our historic building.
It’s run entirely by volunteers as a Members' Club and is open to all on show nights, and to members and invited guests at other times. It hosts social events, open evenings and provides a cosy retreat space whenever it's open.
Our aim is to coincide bar opening with all rehearsals and get-ins and be available for members to drop in whether or not they're involved in those activities. We can only achieve this however, with the support of member volunteers, so please do look into how you might help.
There's something for everyone in our SpreadShirt merchandise store. From stickers and water bottles to aprons and hoodies, you can find a way to wear your SLT your way. The store puts on regular price promotions, so keep coming back for bargains.
We hold an opening evening at 7.45pm on a mid-month Wednesday, every month. Come down to meet us, have a full tour of our historic building and find out more about our theatre, membership, and how to get involved across all the fun and creative disciplines.
If you're a new member or are still considering membership, we hope you’ll come down to get inspired, get better connected with us and how we work and have an enjoyable, sociable evening. We’ll even treat you to a free drink in the bar too!
The 200 Club is SLT’s private lottery which helps to fund our organisation.
The 200 shares available cost £24 each for members to buy annually (up to a maximum of 10 per person), and cash prizes are drawn monthly via a big red tombola. You can join 200 Club in your online membership account.
Look back here at almost everything SLT has staged since 1967.
We have comprehensive archives of both show detail and photography for members to peruse. This can be useful when considering submitting a show for the season - as we don't stage any shows within 10 years from their previous SLT production - or simply when you fancy a journey down memory lane.
We like to provide information to the SLT community on how well it's doing. Here you can view charts showing the membership and supporter numbers across the year and since 2019.
It's natural for subscriber rates to fluctuate and in the longer term chart you can clearly see the impact that Covid-19 had on us in 2020 and 2021, but SLT aims to keep a robust core of subscribed members and grow its supporter audience in the coming year.
We hope everything is going well with your membership, but if you have any concerns or complaints, all the information you need to get things back on track is at the click or tap of the button below.
You might have been a member for a while but still have questions about how SLT works, or simply need convenient access to a form or explicit policy information, so we've put some useful links here.
