Masque Theatre is one of Northampton’s longest-established community theatre groups. In 2012, we will be celebrating our 80th birthday. Masque Theatre and Masque Youth Theatre have a combined membership of around 150.

• Type: Each year we perform six or seven productions. We aim to put on plays that are entertaining, interesting or unusual, providing our membership and audience with variety across the season. For example, the 2009/10 season includes Closer by Patrick Marber, The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov and Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring. Our annual open-air production is a much-loved Northampton tradition.
• Age Range: Masque Youth Theatre gives 10 to 19-year-olds acting workshops and experience of performance. The main Masque Theatre group accepts actors of all ages on merit.
• Rehearsals: Rehearsal times vary from production to production depending on availability of cast and venues.

Masque Theatre has no premises of its own so is able to choose venues which are suitable for each production. Popular venues include Northampton College’s studio theatre, The Crusader Round of the historic Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Northampton, The University of Northampton and The Playhouse Theatre, Northampton. Our annual summer open-air productions take place in the Courtyard of Abington Park Museum, Northampton.
