Help build the story: join the 3rd Act drama group

Following the success of their recent showcase at the ETNA Community Centre, The 3rd Act drama group is throwing open its doors for the new term, and they want you to be part of the story!

As a vibrant group within Richmond, U3A are dedicated to collaborative storytelling, devising original scripts, and proving that theatre belongs to everyone, regardless of prior experience.

Whether you want to step into the spotlight or pull the strings from the wings, there is a place for you. They are a friendly, inclusive bunch, and while enthusiasm is the only true requirement, they're particularly keen to hear from anyone with skills or an interest in sound and lighting tech (managing portable equipment, music, and simple lighting cues).

"If you’ve ever had the itch to perform or help behind the scenes, now is the perfect time to get in touch," explains Group Leader Susy Hodges "You’ll find no pressure here, simply a fantastic team spirit and the satisfaction of bringing a live performance to the stage."

New term details:

• Start date: Wednesday 26 August 2026
• Time: 2 to 4pm every Wednesday (except 2 September)
• Location: ETNA Community Centre, 13 Rosslyn Road, Twickenham TW1 2AR
