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.
