The People's Theatre: New Members Night

The People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 5QF
Wednesday 22nd April 2026
Would you like to appear on the stage, or use your skills backstage or front of house to be part of a group passionate about making great theatre and entertaining audiences?

We are always delighted to welcome new members to take part in all aspects of the theatre.  Our new members night offers an introduction to our Theatre including information on how you could get involved in:

  • Directing
  • Stage Management
  • Lighting
  • Sound 
  • Props
  • Wardrobe
  • Set design and building
  • Acting
  • Stewarding
  • Box Office
  • Volunteering in our Greenroom Bar
If you don't have any experience in any of those aspects but want to learn, great! We offer ‘hands on’ training to anyone who would like to be involved in our many departments.

Your first year of membership costs £40 (£20 for young people up to 25,  students and people on low income). Subsequent years cost £55 (£35 concessions for young people up to 25,  students and people on low income).

We only accept card payments.

This event will take place at the Theatre and will begin in our Foyer at the front of the building (entrance by the side facing the Corner House Pub).  The event will be hosted by current members who will present you with information about the theatre and also take you on a tour of some sections of the building.  You will be asked to complete a membership form on the night.  These can be completed on a smart phone. A current member can also help fill one out for you if you don’t have a smart phone.

We look forward to seeing you at the event - please bring a means of paying your membership.  We only have the ability to take card payments.
