In the charity's own words
Dereham Theatre Company is an active amateur theatre group. We own a Studio where we rehearse and hold Committee meetings. We have both adult members (acting and non acting) and youth members (acting). We perform to local audiences in Dereham Memorial Hall. Each year we look to put on a minimum of one musical and a pantomime. Preferably also performing a play, concert and/or second musical.
