Produced by what is now our resident theatre company, In The Wings Theatre Company, this Off Broadway Musical met with critical acclaim when performed in Tavistock in 2009
Another production from In The Wings written by resident writer Eames Barry, this hilarious production showed at Devoport Playhouse, Liskeard and Tavistock Town Halls and The Old Chapel, Calstock.
You guessed it, another In The Wings production at Calstock, again written by resident writer Eames Barry, a comedy musical following the on and off stage antics of a diva and her suppporting actors preparing for a touring show.
We have a Board, staff and volunteers dedicated to the theatre's success . If you are interested in joining the Board and have relevant experience , please contact us. We are particularly seeking Board members with experience in fund raising and grant applications.
When we have finished renovations, we will begin recruiting for an experienced Theatre Manager, Bar Manager and technical staff. We would welcome initial informal enquires from suitably qualified applicants, as well as potential volunteers.
TUT is keen to promote and support live music of all genres in Plymouth, especially as smaller venues have closed. We expect to host bands and solo artists regularly as well as hosting jazz, chamber and other classical music.
We plan to host a resident big band in the future, with musicians drawn from the local area, both to perform and to accompany other artists or productions. We will also encourage new writing and composition and will be promoting new musicians and groups, as well as planning competitons and awards.
TUT is a Community Interest Company; all profits are invested in the theatre and the local community.
