Get involved
It's not just acting! We offer a variety of ways to get involved with Kelvin Players, so even if you love theatre but hate the limelight, we're sure to have a role for you in the club.
Acting
All members are welcome to audition for any of our shows or rehearsed readings.
Set Construction
For the DIY-inclined. Less experienced members who are interested in getting involved with construction are welcome too – we're happy to share skills!
Workshops
We offer a variety of skills workshops across the year, held by both internal and external practitioners.
Directing
All our shows are directed by Kelvin members. Speak to a member of committee to find out about eligibility.
Kelvin Writers' Group
Our informal support network for aspiring dramatic writers. In the past, works from this group have been performed as rehearsed readings.
Social Events
As you'd expect, we're a social bunch. We hold regular social events, including our Annual Awards Ceremony and Ball.
Backstage
Get involved backstage. Props, lighting, sound, stage management, costuming – it's all up for grabs!
Rehearsed Readings
The first step when dipping your toes into directing. Direct a one act play in a day and perform it that same evening, scripts in hand.
& More!
The ways to get involved are limited only by your imagination.
