Musical Theatre In Welwyn Garden City
Who we are, what we do and why.
We are a group of like-minded people who love to perform. There are a wide range of talented people who, when put together have been putting on shows since 1929 which leaves just 5 years years until we reach our centenary year! We rehearse on Mondays and Thursday evenings (8pm – 10pm). Rehearsals are great fun and are just as fulfilling as the show itself. Read more about us, the society and how you can get involved.
We have only just started rehearsals for our winter show, Evita. If you would like to join us, please either get in touch with us or come along to an evening rehearsal to check us out. We are always looking for volunteers to help with costumes, set design, promotions and much more, we would be grateful for any contribution that you could make.

Kinky Boots the Musical
10th to 14th June 2025
Directed by Mandy Sayers
Kinky Boots is a heartwarming musical that follows Charlie Price, a young man who inherits his family’s struggling shoe factory. On the brink of closure, Charlie finds inspiration in Lola, a flamboyant drag queen who needs sturdy yet stylish boots for her performances.
Together, they embark on an unlikely partnership to produce a line of high-heeled boots for drag artists, transforming the factory and the lives of everyone involved. With themes of acceptance, friendship, and self-expression, the show blends humor, dazzling performances, and an uplifting score by Cyndi Lauper.

Nativity The Musical
9th to 13th December 2025
Musical Director Rachel Davis
Nativity! The Musical is a festive, feel-good show based on the popular British film. It follows Mr. Maddens, a primary school teacher, tasked with directing his school’s Christmas nativity play. When he accidentally boasts that a Hollywood producer will turn the play into a movie, chaos ensues as the students, staff, and parents scramble to make it a spectacular production. With quirky characters, hilarious mishaps, and heartwarming moments, the musical celebrates the magic of Christmas, the power of community, and the joy of believing in the impossible.
Tickets Available Soon.

NODA Review for Evita
Not so long ago (5th to 9th November 2024), we had our final performance of Evita, a musical about the life and times of Eva Peron. We had some lovely feedback and here is the review written by our local NODA representative Scott Welch.

Welcome
Mandy Sayers
(Chair)
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you and thank you for supporting the Thalian Theatre Company (formally The Welwyn Thalian Society). We took the opportunity in 2022 to have a think about our name and what it stands for and we thought that the Thalian Theatre Company sums us up best. You may also have noticed that we have a new logo which reflects our history, with our centenary approaching in 2029!
If you haven’t already, please sign up to become a Friend of Thalians so that we can send you our Newsletter from time to time and if you would like notification of auditions for our upcoming shows, this in an ideal way to keep in touch.
I would like too to encourage anyone who does not wish to tread the boards, but would like help out with behind-the-scene activities such as set design and or build, costumes, makeup, props, front of house etc, to get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
I very much look forward to welcoming you to our theatre and hope you enjoy the show.
Mandy Sayers, Chairman
