Providing Quality Amateur Theatre In Milton Keynes Since 1986

Hello!!

Welcome to the web site of Tread the Boards, probably the friendliest amateur drama group in Milton Keynes. We are a well-established group that has been "Treading the Boards" of various stages in the Milton Keynes area since 1986. Here you will find a potted history of the group, details of our structure and ideas, our past productions and future plans.

As an ambitious group that wants to expand our dramatic horizons, we are always looking for new members to help us realise our ambitions.

Whether you are a raw beginner or experienced, whatever your interest; acting, backstage, sound, lights, etc., we would welcome you as a member.

Male Actors Wanted

At the present time we are particularly keen to increase our number of male actors. With three major productions in planning for next year, plus an entry in the Beds Drama Festival, we can promise you plenty to keep you involved!

Interested? - then why not come along to any of our regular Monday rehearsal sessions and see what we are all about. Full details are on our Membership page, or you can email us here.

An Ayckbourn Celebration!

This year sees Alan Ayckbourn celebrate both his 70th birthday and 50 years in the theatre. We are doing our bit for his celebrations by staging his hit comedy "Table Manners" in July. "Table Manners" is part of the "Norman Conquests" trilogy and is the only segment that he have not yet presented. The play will be directed by Chris Sims, and we will be putting it on at the Madcap Theatre, Wolverton on July 3rd and 4th, followed by a performance a week later at the Ellen Pettit Memorial Hall, Woburn Sands on July 11th. Full details are on our summer show page.

Wanted - Volunteers!!

Have you some skills to share? We are always looking for volunteer helpers who can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

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

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 21 years of archive material. Watch this space (or more accurately, our Archive page).

Please talk to us!

We are always happy to hear from prospective members, patrons of our shows, or anybody interested in what we do. Please use our Contact page and we will respond to you as quickly as we can.

Thank you for visiting our web site; we hope that you find it informative and easy to use.

Table Manners

by Alan Ayckbourn

Table Manners is part of Alan Ayckbourn's Norman Conquests trilogy, premiered in 1973. In Ayckbourn's opinion it is also the funniest. TTB have in past years presented the other two plays, Round and Round the Garden, and Living Together, so with this production we complete the set.
