The Royal Navy Theatre Association exists to enhance the confidence, team-working and leadership qualities of service and civilian personnel through the medium of drama and to foster good relationships between those from different backgrounds relating to the Service. Particular encouragement is given to the Naval Training Estate and to Naval Bases and Air Stations, but the higher level headquarter
s are also urged to pitch in with the active participation. The RNTA is made up a collection of theatre companies across the world. They include Collingwood RSC (Fareham), Admirals' Players (Portsmouth), Sultan Theatre Group (Gosport) & Trafalgar Theatre Group (Gibraltar). The RNTA puts on a Summer Production each year as well as holding a Spring Festival for all groups to take part in. Recently the RNTA took part in a project with Warwick University Professor, Nadine Holdsworth. The study looks at the influences that amateur theatre has on the cultural and social aspects of our society.
