About Us
We are a friendly and energetic community theatre group based in the village of Detling, Near Maidstone, Kent, England.
Our regular programme includes an outdoor Shakespeare production every two years and a "family" show in Detling Village Hall around Christmas time each year.
In addition, we present a wide range of plays - comedies, murder mysteries and serious dramas. Look at the list of productions in our archive.
