Membership

Bridgnorth Musical Theatre Company productions are staged and supported by both acting and non acting members; junior members; patrons and stage crew.

We are always looking for new and enthusiastic musical theatre ‘stars’ and you can even be a member of the company without even needing to put a step onto stage! There are several ways of becoming involved with the company as follows:

Adult Membership: become a member of the company, help us to put the shows onto stage and enjoy the social events held throughout the year. Adult membership of the company begins at the age of 15 years. An annual membership subscription is collected in September of each year.

Actors, singers and dancers: those new members wishing to appear on stage are asked to take part in a simple singing and ‘movement’ audition. If you are part of the stage show an additional acting fee  is required as part of the membership to contribute towards the costs of putting you on stage and a further contribution towards costume hire.

Behind the scenes: members who find their talents are more suited to the more technical part of musical theatre provide assistance up to and during the week of the show including; rehearsal pianist, props & wardrobe, front of house, prompt and stage crew. As well as helping erect the stage being a part of the stage crew can include helping with the lighting, changing scenery and moving stage furniture between scenes and operating the final curtain!

For more information on joining the company please contact the Adult Membership Secretary.

Junior Membership: become a junior member of the Bridgnorth Stage Academy (BSA) if you are interested in musical theatre and are aged between 6 and 16 years of age. The Academy aims to put on two shows a year one in summer the other in winter. Rehearsals are programmed to suit the production and the adult rehearsal schedule and are usually held between 5.45 and 7.30pm on Wednesdays although this may vary.

For more information on joining the Academy please contact the Junior Membership Secretary or email at: This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

Patrons: if you are a former member of the Society; related to someone who is a member; or just love musical theatre but do not have the time to become a member, then you can still support Bridgnorth Musical Theatre Company by becoming a patron. Patrons help support the company by paying an annual subscription which entitles them to one free ticket each with the added advantage of being able to choose where they sit before tickets go on sale to the general public.

For more information on becoming a Patron please contact the Patron’s Secretary.

Committee Members: no musical theatre company would exist without the hard work and dedication of the committee members. Committee members are voted in at the Annual General Meeting held in May of each year. The committee and company are presided over by a president and vice presidents who are invited to fill the roles by the company committee.
