The Godalming Theatre Group (GTG) was founded by Desmond Holt in 1964. ​

 

We are committed to delivering outstanding theatre experiences for our community, showcasing everything from major musicals to autumn plays, festive pantomimes and musical reviews, at various locations around the Godalming area.

​​

At GTG, we embrace members of all ages, offering opportunities for performers, directors, choreographers, musical directors, production managers, costumiers, prop managers, stage managers, technicians, stage crew, child chaperones, and front-of-house helpers.

 

Our Youth Theatre Group nurtures young talent aged 12 to 21, providing invaluable training and hands-on experiences of working and performing in theatre.

​

​Our committee of dedicated volunteers undertake essential roles including:

• Committee Chairing: Providing leadership and guidance to the committee, ensuring effective decision-making and collaboration.

• Finance and Accounting: Financial operations, budgeting, and financial reporting.

• Web Design and Maintenance: Maintaining and enhancing our online presence, ensuring our website remains engaging and up-to-date.

• Public Communications: Handling external communications, including press releases, social media management, and community outreach.

• Marketing: Developing and implementing marketing strategies to promote our productions and attract audiences.

• Creative Director experience: Bringing creative vision and leadership to our productions.

• Production Management: Coordinating all aspects of a production, including auditions.

• Stage and Technical Management: Supporting the creative and technical teams.

• Project Management: Overseeing specific projects within the group, ensuring they are completed on time and within budget.

• Safeguarding: ensuring all involved in our productions are safely looked after.

• Minutes Taking: Recording and documenting of the proceedings of committee meetings and publishing.

• Charity Commission Compliance: Ensuring compliance with Charity Commission regulations and obligations.

 

With enough willing volunteers, the committee as a whole ensures all of these activities are completed. And that means we can continue to bring our community the shows they have loved for over sixty years.
