2010 Oklahoma
Catrin Harris, a stalwart of the Society's Youth Theatre took on her first senior role in the Society's most recent production, seeing her play the female lead, Laurie Williams. She provided a superb performance as did Gareth Jones, who played Curly, Tim Pottinger (Jud Fry), Gaynor Williams (Aunt Eller), Lauren Jones (Ado Annie), Phil Rice (Will Parker) and David Roberts (Andrew Cairnes). Again the chorus provided a sterling performance. Special mention has to be made of the dream ballet which made hairs stand on end, and the fabulous dancing ability of Karen Andrews as "Dream Laurie".
2009 My Fair Lady
This classic rags to riches tale, based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalian, was another success for the Society with the roles of Eliza Doolittle and Professor Higgins performed wonderfully by Lynne Jones and Peter Morgan. Yet again, the main players were supported superbly by the supporting cast, which included Ian Vanson Evans, Peter L. Howard and Anne Nicholas, and an energetic chorus.
2008 Calamity Jane
The Society's production was performed at the Princess Royal Theatre during April 2008. Rosie Cottle was at her best in the role of Calamity Jane, and Lee Thomas (Wild Bill Hickock), Catherine Brown (Katie Brown) and Tim Pottinger (Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin) all put in outstanding performances in the other lead roles.
2007 Crazy for You
The highlight of this show was the Gershwin classic, "I've Got Rhythm". An outstanding cast, led by Rosie Cottle and Gareth Jones, were supported wonderfully by The Follies who provided superb dancing throughout!
2006 Hello Dolly

Dolly, the part made famous by Barbara Streisand in the film version, was played to perfection by Gaynor Williams. Supporting roles were provided by Lyn Williams, Gill Vanson Evans, Catherine Brown, Gareth Jones and Lloyd Hughes.
