We are a small amateur dramatic club located in Dollar, Clackmannanshire with members from across Clackmannanshire and the surrounding area.
We stage a variety of theatrical productions, including theatre dinners, full-length productions and murder mystery evenings.
All of these productions require the support of a director with a stage manager and crew, costume design and props, lighting and sound, offering an opportunity to try a range of activities for different productions.
We also host play reading evenings, where we meet to read through a play together that we are considering performing, or simply a play that we think would be enjoyable to read together. This is a sociable event, and it gives novice actors a chance to practise reading lines aloud in front of others.
We aim to perform two or three plays per year. This has been somewhat disrupted recently by the pandemic, however we did have a production in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
We typically have two or three performances of our plays over one weekend in Dollar Academy Studio Theatre, or The Hive, or the Burnside Hall.
We rehearse once or twice per week, depending on the play. We typically start rehearsals two or three months before the performance weekend.
Our social activities include a summer barbecue, a winter party, and planned visits to other productions by amateur and professional groups. The summer programme at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre is a regular favourite.
Next Performance:
