COME AND PLAY

A group of people on stage dacning whilst all wearing masksWe're a group of volunteers who come together to put on plays. Help us to maintain quality theatre in Stockport by getting involved in what we do! Stockport Garrick Theatre is all about a group of people having a shared creative experience, as we aim to make theatre of the highest quality and tell amazing stories. Members pay a yearly fee (or a lifetime fee if you’re really committed) and then get involved in all the different activities it takes to keep our theatre going. There’s all the things you’ll see on our stage - but there’s also plenty of things off stage too - as well as loads of social events and other creative opportunities!
