PAST PRODUCTIONS
'Curtain Up!'
16 - 19 June 2026
When five very different women unexpectedly inherit equal shares in a crumbling old theatre, they’re thrown together in a whirlwind mission to save it from destruction. Their brilliant plan? Stage a star-studded fundraising concert. Their problem? Absolutely everything.
From backstage blunders to outrageous schemes, nothing goes smoothly and the truth behind their ‘famous star headliner’ is a secret they must keep at all costs. As the pressure mounts, so do the laughs in this fast-paced, feel-good comedy packed with sharp dialogue, big personalities, and heart.
'Ladies' Day'
25 - 28 November 2025
‘Ladies’ Day’ by Amanda Whittington is a comedy drama about four ladies who work as fish filleters in a fish factory in Hull.
Work, love, and life are just one long, hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome - Pearl, Jan, Shelley, and Linda - who are closely factory-supervised by Joe. But the ladies’ fortunes are set to change.
As the girls head off to Royal Ascot on Ladies’ Day for a flirt, flutter, fizz, and fun, secrets start to be revealed. If their luck holds out, they could hit the jackpot and a lot more besides!

'Teechers'
10 - 13 June 2025
'Teechers' by John Godber is a raucous comedy that spins around the lives of three spirited school-leavers - Gail, Hobby, and Salty - who stage a play about their last year at Whitewall School.
With their comedic flair and a touch of mischief, the trio highlight the eccentricities of their teachers; from the well-meaning new drama teacher, Mr Nixon, to energetic and bouncy PE teacher, Miss Prime, not to mention over-theatrical headteacher, Mrs Parry.
As they all navigate the chaos of the school system, including staff meetings and the epic battles over budget cuts, not forgetting the drama-hating Doug the school caretaker, the kids find humour and hope amidst the madness of everyday school life.
'Teechers' is a hilariously chaotic ride through the trials and tribulations of school life. The combination of humour, story-telling theatre, multi-role playing, and insightful social commentary about our education system is what makes this John Godber play so special and loved by many.

'PERFECT 10'
26 - 29 November 2024
10 + 2 PERFECT PLAYS TO SING & SHOUT ABOUT!
How many of us have heard the term "Once in a blue moon"? You might even have used the expression yourself at some point. Well, it put in several appearances throughout our last Autumn production.
'Perfect 10', made up of 10+2 mini plays, delivered gripping drama, had our audiences laughing out loud, and tugged at their heartstrings.
It featured plays from 11 playwrights who were winners of runners-up in the Ilkley Playhouse 8x8x8 Festivals of 2020/1 and 2022/3. Thanks to all the writers and to Jay Cundell Walker who gave permission to bring their plays to life on our QT stage last November.
To make the show a bit 'different', we added some musical numbers - songs relevant to the scene to include a mixture of solos, duets, and group numbers.
