Welcome to Stourbridge Theatre Company’s Web Site which is intended to give you some information about STC which we hope you will find useful.

The Company began over 75 years ago, it was originally called, The Stourbridge Play Readers later to become Stourbridge Dramatic Society. In 1998 it was formed into a limited company called: Stourbridge Theatre Company Limited, a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. It is run by a board of directors who are elected at an annual general meeting, held in September.

STC aims to produce, high quality, theatrical productions. Of course these need actors but a successful production is equally dependant on a whole team of people behind the scenes or front of house. All are welcome and have a part to play

We usually put on three major productions a year, these include, thrillers, period dramas, Shakespeare, comedies, children’s fantasies and farce.  In addition we enter theatre festivals, present other smaller scale productions, hold play readings and organise various social events, from time to time.  We perform in March and late November, each year, at the Stourbridge Town Hall Theatre and, during the warm summer evenings, open air, in the grounds of Himley Hall or some other venue.

We rehearse for about three months prior to a production from 7.30pm to 10.00pm every Monday and Thursday at St. Joseph’s School, Lea Vale Road , Norton, Stourbridge. Members and prospective new members are welcome to attend rehearsals for a chat and a cup of coffee. 

There are various ways to become part of STC, you can join as a member or you may wish to become a Patron; both receive a regular newsletter and patrons receive two free tickets for each major production. Alternatively, you may just want to join our free mailing list to receive advance notification of all productions.
