About the company

The Box Theatre Company was formed in 1993 with one aim – to bridge the gap between amateur and professional theatre in the area, by providing committed amateurs and aspiring professionals with opportunities to produce challenging drama within the framework of a professionally operated Theatre Company. We aim to produce innovative, quality theatre for the West Berkshire area. All members live locally, and are united in their desire to promote the development of local theatre and drama.

Past Box productions include:

  • Fear and Misery of the Third Reich by Bertolt Brecht
  • One was Nude and One Wore Tails by Dario Fo
  • The Artful Widow by Goldini
  • The Cherry Orchard by Chekhov
  • Our Countries Good by Timberlake Wertenbaker at The Watermill Theatre
  • Trumpets and Raspberries by Dario Fo
  • Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel
  • The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
  • Bouncers by John Godber
  • Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Christopher Hampton

Since their previous base at the Arts Workshop, Newbury, was closed in November 1998 The Box have moved to New Greenham Arts, and have performed both Dancing at Lughnasa and The Glass Menagerie in the auditorium.

The Box Theatre Company wishes to provide opportunities for committed local people to become involved in all areas of theatre. We are always keen to recruit new members, for on or off stage roles, and invite any interested people to contact Tracey on 07766 775980.
