Through mentorship and Bursary Schemes we make the Arts accessible to all.

The Theatre Shed works with people of all ages and backgrounds, producing excellent, challenging, thought-provoking, and above all, entertaining theatre.

We do not have an audition process and we believe this creates a more accessible pathway for all young people to engage in Performing Arts.

Performing to an audience is key.

We put on a number of shows throughout the year. All of our shows are devised by our members with original music. Although we are based in Chesham and Amersham, our young people have toured their shows and performed at the Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals.

Our Shedlight supporters are vital in helping us to continue the meaningful work we do by generously contributing monthly direct debit donations, starting at just £5 per month!

As a ‘Shedlight’ supporter, you will receive:

  • Entry into our monthly £100 CASH PRIZE DRAW

  • ‘The Theatre Shed’ branded merchandise

The monthly cash prize is drawn in the middle of each month. You receive one entry for every £5 donation; giving those donating £10, £15, or £20 per month, a greater chance of winning.

Your donations are the lifeblood of our charity - Thank you!

As an inclusive theatre company, we do not receive any formal funding, so we are reliant on fundraising and kind donations alongside our membership to keep providing this wonderful service. Find out about how you can volunteer and join the team as a mentor.
