GTG is one of the leading community theatre groups in Surrey

The late Desmond Holt founded The Youth Centre Theatre Group in 1964.

As the productions became grander and the "youth" got older, the group was renamed Godalming Theatre Group.

Nowadays, GTG is known for producing some of the finest amateur theatre in Surrey.

Our performing season is built around a major spring musical, an autumn play and a Christmas pantomime or show.

Managed by experienced volunteers, we aim for professional standards and invest in challenging and adventurous productions.

Each production is staged at the Ben Travers Theatre, Charterhouse School, Godalming.

Many of the drama productions that we have enterered into festivals have won awards for directing, acting or technical excellence.

We have staged Old Time Music Halls and Musical Reviews across the south of England and in Augusta, USA - and we have performed in Godalming’s twin towns of Mayen in Germany and Joigny in France.

Anyone over the age of 14 is welcome to join GTG.

Performers audition for each production; other members are involved in administration, technical support or backstage.

We run a weekly Youth Theatre Group for people from age 12 to 21.

Our young members learn performing skills, take part in workshops and master classes, perform green room productions, and go on theatre visits and backstage tours. They often take part in GTG productions and remain and many remain with us through to adulthood.

All performers aged 16 or under are subject to the same licensing laws as professional theatre. In our case, they are licensed by Surrey Council Council and are in the care of licensed chaperones during performances.

GTG provides an excellent grounding for young people who want to venture into professional theatre. Quite a few have gone to drama school or further training and are now working in the profession.

Quite a few GTG performers and technicians have gone into professional theatre.
