Wimborne Community Theatre creates original site-specific performances in
unusual outdoor venues or non-theatre buildings. We develop and perform stories inspired by local places and the lives and concerns of residents, past and present, real and fictional.
Two recent productions were inspired by local rivers:
· Timeless Stream – 2021, set on the banks of the river Allen at Walford Mill https://www.wimbornecommunitytheatre.co.uk/productions/timeless-stream/)
· Secrets of the Stour – 2022, set on the banks of the Stour, near Julians Bridge, Wimborne

We collected the memories of local children and adults about these rivers, and you can read them here: https://www.wimbornecommunitytheatre.co.uk/river-memories-by-local-people/
We always welcome new members, either as performers or to support all aspects of the production.

Upcoming events
Wimborne Community Theatre invites local quiz groups and individuals to another fund-raising Quiz Night with Ploughman’s Supper on Wednesday, March 4, to support the development of WCT’s next community theatre project on the theme of HOME, which will be part of Wimborne Town of Culture.
As always, WCT’s Quiz promises to be a fun and entertaining evening of questions on a wide range of subjects from local interest topics, environmental, science and cultural themes, from easy to challenging, and everything in-between.
