About Us

Wimborne Community Theatre creates original site-specific performances, set in unusual outdoor venues or non-theatre buildings. We have created more than 30 productions since 1991.

WCT members work in partnership with artists and arts or heritage organisations to develop and perform stories inspired by local places and the lives of residents, past and present, real and fictional. Over 1,000 people have been involved (aged from 6 months to 89 years), performing to audiences of several thousand. The number of core members expands with each production, depending on who gets involved, e.g. schools, colleges and community groups.
