Welcome

..... to the web site of Tread the Boards Theatre Group. We have been treading the boards with great success in and around Milton Keynes for 26 years, and move into 2012 with great plans for the future. Our rehearsal base is in Woburn Sands and our main production venue is the superb Chrysalis Theatre, in Willen. We draw our membership from across Milton Keynes and beyond.

Why not join us?

We like to think that we are probably the friendliest drama group in Milton Keynes. If you fancy Treading the Boards, why not join us? We are always happy to welcome new members. No auditions required, just pop along to the Methodist Church Hall, Chapel Street, Woburn Sands any Monday evening (7.45 to 10.00) and see what you think. Full details of membership are on our Membership page.

Improbable Fiction

Our production of Alan Ayckbourn's "Improbable Fiction" at the Chrysalis Theatre in April was a great success. This is a play that requires multiple costume and character changes amongst the cast, and these were handled magnificently. An excellent production overall.

Bedfordshire One-Act Drama Festival

Following "Improbable Fiction", we took part in the Beds Drama Festival with "White Lies" by Richard James, directed by Vikki Morton. A very good production in which Chris Sims was nominated for the Best Actress award.

Summer 2012

Our Summer production this year will be a double-bill, "Lies & Secrets" consisting of "White Lies" by Richard James, again directed by Vikki Morton, and "Dirty Business" by Derek Webb, directed by Faisal Mohiuddin. "Lies & Secrets" is scheduled for performance on Friday 29th June and Saturday 30th June. Venue is to be confirmed

Keep an eye on our Next Production page for the latest information, or you can sign up to our Mailing List (see here for details) to get advance news.

Wanted- Volunteers!!

Have you some skills to share?

Putting on a production requires people and skills. Costumes have to be made, sets built and painted, lighting and sound operated, and we always need bodies backstage and front of house. Our members become adept at turning their hands to all sorts of tasks, but we can always use more hands. We are always looking for volunteer helpers who can help us turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. No need to join TTB, just offer a hand as and when required (although if you decide to join us we will be very pleased!).

To find out more, just send us an email with details of how you think you can assist us, and we will get straight back to you.

Where is the Chrysalis Theatre?

If you have not heard of the Chrysalis Theatre, then you will not be aware of this superb facility in Milton Keynes. Visit their web site at http://www.camphillmk.co.uk/chrysalis/ for information about the theatre and photos of the auditorium and facilities.

The theatre is located on the Camphill Community site at Japonica Lane, Willen Park South, just off Brickhill Street.

Photo Archive

You will not find many photos on the site at present - not because we are shy, but simply that we are busy putting together nearly 25 years of archive material. Watch this space (or more accurately, our Archive page).
