The gang are back! This is the sequel to our highly successful production in 2021 of "The Vicar of Dibley." â€‹This production will be on-stage between 28th November and 7th December 2024.

It promises to be an absolute barrel of laughs so booking early will be essential to avoid missing out. The original 2021 production resulted in the full house sign being put up before every show. Due to big public interest, tickets will be on sale online here from 9am on Monday 21st October and at Piako Stationery Supplies from 9am on Monday 11th November. 

​

Show dates are:

At the Little Theatre

The Theatre is centrally located and well-equipped.  The Society receives good support from the community.  We provide the chance for people of all ages and walks of life to become involved with any aspects of theatre production; from acting through to backstage, lighting and sound, advertising, marketing and promotion.

Great plays

The society aims to stage three plays a year - usually March, June and November.  With a great legacy behind us, we are proud of the quality of our plays.  Follow our Facebook page to keep up-to-date with audition calls and what's on.
