YESPA Musical Theatre Formerly YESOS

YESPA Musical Theatre Formerly YESOS YESPA is an innovative and dynamic musical theatre group, for ages 8 to 21, based in Reigate/Redhill, Surrey and we perform at the Harlequin Theatre.

Founded in 2004, YESOS was the youth section of the adult company East Surrey Operatic Society. Having merged with the Opera Club of Reigate and Redhill, the society's name was changed to ESPA (East Surrey Performing Arts) and so, as the youth section, YESOS became YESPA. We rehearse and perform a fully staged musical during the school summer holidays, where our performers receive c. 60 hours of i

ntensive musical theatre training. We also offer an annual calendar of acting, singing and dancing Weekend Workshops. These stand-alone events are designed to aid and develop performing arts skills useful to our productions, but also to be utilised in any performing situations our youngsters may find themselves. Our team is lead by a professional director and professional musical director and assisted by other experienced and talented members of ESPA. Our shows are also aided in production by professionals in the field of sound, lighting design, stage management and a professional orchestra to ensure our young performers get the highest possible standard of life in the theatre. https://www.yespa.org.uk/

YESPA- we need town and parish councils to protect our community assets once our borough council has been abolished. Many of the community halls we rehearse in as well as the Harlequin Theatre we perform in need protection. Have your say before 18th Sept!

Gatton Community Theatre are looking for actors for the roles of Mary (female 17-35ish) and Joseph (male 20-45ish) for their next production of Nativity which is aimed at adult audiences.
No tinsel and definitely no tea towels – this will be a modern production staged in the round with a lot of storytelling.
It is not suitable for children under the age of 10.

The parts of Mary and Joseph are not overwhelming but key characters as we try to get the audience to imagine what might have happened from the moment they first met and on through their emotional responses to events that changed the world.
It is an amazing play and we are so proud to be performing it.

There will be 7 performances in Merstham over two weeks, December 4th – 7th and 11th – 13th . Rehearsals at the moment are Tuesday & Wednesday evenings, but we are trying to call people only once a week if possible until all the blocking is done, extra weekend days will be added in November.

As a community theatre company we have a large cast of all ages, (at the moment 36 people but room for more) and are passionate about arts access for all regardless of age or experience, there are no membership or production fees.
We specialise in unusual productions in unusual places.

Now we have the £4.5million approved to ‘fix’ The Harlequin Theatre Redhill, we are busy making it happen.

We are looking at options to run the theatre – as well as a second venue in Redhill – Unit 5 of The Rise.

We have had some interest from local organisations for Unit 5 already, so putting it out here in case there are other experienced and innovative organisations that might be interested.

• The Harlequin Theatre – a long-established and well-loved 494-seat performing arts venue.
• Unit 5 at The Rise – a newly developed, highly visible and versatile performance space with approximately 200 seats, located in Redhill’s premier leisure development.

Deadline for expressions of interest is 1 September 2025, at 12 noon.
