The theatre was established in 1938 on its present site which was converted from an old Victorian bakery.[3] The theatre has over 1,000 members split into full and audience-only groups,[4] all the staff, cast and crew are volunteers.
The theatre's repertory members present approximately 11 shows each year[5] as well as a number of smaller productions which are performed in the open "Bar Area".[6] Performances run for around eight nights, apart from Sunday evenings when the theatre stage is used to showcase local or touring bands, among other events.[7]
