The Electric Theatre

Backstage at the Electric Theatre

In recent times we have alternated our productions between the Electric Theatre and the splendid space of the Guildford Holy Trinity Church at the top of the High Street. However a major problem arose at the Electric Theatre. Read about it on the link below!
