🪑 SEATING
When booking for more than 1 person, please try not to leave a gap between available seats. It's not really a sold-out show if those seats can't be sold to people who want to come with a friend 😢

🥂🍿 FOOD & DRINK
We have a bar and canteen available to purchase drinks and snacks before the show, and during intermission. We also have 2 incredible coffee/hot chocolate machines! All purchased items are permitted within the auditorium so that you can enjoy them during the show. You can even place an order for drinks from the bar to be ready for you at intermission - talk about a time saver!
🎉 PRIZES
We have a door prize AND raffle prizes to be won at each show! All you need to do will be to purchase a programme and / or raffle tickets from our Red Coats and you will be in the chance to win!
⭐ REHEARSALS ⭐
Since the show opens next week, we thought we might give you a little teaser from rehearsals! In these photos you can see how having the set built quickly helps actors familiarise themselves with the space they have available for their blocking, which also helps the lighting and backstage crew perfect their roles, too. It's a shame to see the yellow brick road disappear, but I promise it'll be worth it 🤩

OUR HISTORY
The group “Rockingham Entertainers” was formed in 1972, operating out of the Rockingham High School Gym where they performed 4 musicals per year. The aim of the group was to raise money for local charities.
Due to many changes around the mid 1980's the group needed to relocate, and took up residence in McLarty Hall, renting it for rehearsals and show performances. We later negotiated with the council a loan to build an annex for theatre use for storage of sets and costumes etc. While the annexe remained the property of the local council and was leased back to us at a peppercorn rent. This was our home for many years producing musicals, comedies and variety shows mostly under the direction of Eileen Frith. Over the years Rockingham Entertainers have won many awards for their productions whilst also donating our proceeds to local charity groups, just maintaining enough funds to operate as a non profit group.
By the mid 90's the group had grown in number and we needed to either modify the hall or purchase it from the council. It was getting more and more difficult to secure booking the hall for rehearsals and shows. It was even double booked for a wedding on a show night!! Unfortunately purchasing or modifying the building wasn’t an option, so plans were initiated for the building of our own theatre. After a long road, we had a brand new theatre building, which was completed in 2000. We also we had a new name “Rockingham Theatre Company” to go with our new home at “The Castle”.
We have continued to grow from there and now have wonderful raked theatre seating and are constantly working towards improving our theatre. We usually stage four productions a year under the guidance of several different directors and actively encourage new members to participate in the theatre.
Our aim now is to continue into the future promoting live theatre and performing arts in Rockingham. To improve the facilities and to continue to be a community based organisation.
We are still a non profit group and continue to support local charities.
