About Us
Founded in 2005 The Theatre Shed is an exciting, inclusive theatre company based in the heart of Chesham.
Inspiring
Theatre Shed is a place where young people from every walk of life, background and ability come together to use the power of drama, music and dance to have fun, build confidence and develop their creativity.
Inclusive
Neither ‘mainstream’ nor ‘disability’, our inclusivity offers an inspiring alternative theatre made up of an all-encompassing cross section of the community.
Theatre
We believe that theatre should be for everyone regardless of personal circumstances or background. There are no auditions – everyone has a part to play. Just come along, have great fun and make new friends at the same time.

Alice Connor - Artistic Director
Alice started volunteering as a mentor for The Theatre Shed in 2009. Her main reason for this was to use her experience as an actor to encourage and support the members of her local theatre group. Following in her grandfathers (Kenneth Connor) footsteps, she grew up in the Film and Television industry in front of the camera.
Over her years as a mentor, Alice began to develop a passion for Shed’s ethos of inclusivity, so much so that she went on to gain a 1st Class Honours degree in Psychology specialising in Educational Psychology.
The Theatre Shed welcomed Alice into the Artistic Team in 2016 where she now works as a Practitioner, putting her knowledge and experience into developing the performance and social skills of our young people as well as facilitating the growth of the company itself.
Alice, continues to pursue her acting career in film and television and aspires to be in a position to facilitate the change in society that Shed achieves with ease every week. No boundaries, an open door for all where anything and everything is possible!
Sian Britnell - Sound Design And Communications Management
Sian joined Theatre Shed’s Artistic Team as our Musical Technician in 2019.
Sian is a self taught musician able to play a variety of instruments, as well as a trained vocalist with Grade 5 in Music Theory.
Sian has always had a passion for music, this is shown through her performing as live musician at various events and venues.
Sian is keen to share her knowledge and love for music with the members bringing out their creative side, encouraging them to remember anything is possible and we can create any music they like together!
