HEADGATE THEATRE PRODUCTIONS
Headgate Theatre Productions (HTP) was established to ensure that the theatre programme included a wide range of drama to complement the plays produced by our hirers. It also is a means of generating revenue to help run the building. HTP is rightly proud of its growing reputation which is reflected in positive audience feedback and extensive nominations and awards. We aim to attract a diverse and talented range of directors and as a minimum the annual programme will always include a ‘classic’ , a contemporary play, a comedy, and a pantomime.
HTP runs open auditions and all of the technical creative activity is undertaken by volunteers.
