Summer is here!

And just like that, Summer is here!

We had an amazing time performing Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein” and our audiences loved it. We had super feedback on social media too. After all of the hard work and preparation, we can’t believe it’s over. It was so good to be back on stage again after a long break. 

We’re busy rehearsing for our Summer Concert which is in celebration of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. We'll be performing songs from some of the Queen’s favourite musicals. 

Tickets are on sale for our Pantomime which is ‘Dick Whittington’. You can get those from the side of this page or via Facebook and TicketSource.

We’re Back with a Monster of a Show!

 It’s been so long! After almost two, long years we are back in rehearsals and preparing for our next show. And it’s a MONSTER! JMTC are delighted to announce that in May 2022 we’ll be performing the North East Amateur Premiere of Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein. You can book tickets directly from the link at the side of this page. Look out on our social media for news and snippets from rehearsals. We can’t wait to be back on stage doing what we love to do- performing!

‘What’s the Buzz?’

We’re so excited here at JMTC because rehearsals for our next show in May 2020, ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ have begun! The last few Tuesdays have been spent with the ensemble rehearsing some of the amazing numbers like ‘What’s the Buzz?’, ‘Hosanna’ and ‘The Temple’. It’s already taking shape on the floor and sounding great. Our principal cast sacrificed Valentine’s night so they could rehearse together- that’s love for you! 

The box office is now open and you can grab your tickets either online or by phone. All details are in the poster below. A link to our online ticket sales is just at the side of this page. 

It’s set to be a spectacular experience with a new take on this classic show. So, get your diary out and set a date to come and see us. 

Panto Prep has begun!

Preparations are well underway for our 2019 pantomime, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Tickets are now on sale and there’s an early bird saver for just £8 per ticket if you book before 15th September. You can book online using the link at the side of this page.

Make Sure you see it!

Our set is in place and it’s so complex that we had it put into place a week earlier than usual to allow the cast to get used to it and to allow the crew to have extra rehearsals to have everything running smoothly. This is a BIG show!!!

We received a lovely message from the sister of our very own Mrs Hedgehog who was visiting the North East and she managed to get along to our rehearsal on Sunday:

You can book by clicking the links at the side of our blog. ‘The Wind in the Willows’ is such a heartwarming show filled with wonderful characters and very catchy songs. This is going to be a show you’ll want to come back to!

Photoshoot Day

Photoshoot day is always a great day! An early start and off along country roads to the most beautiful, traditional Gypsy Caravan for our first venue of the day. 

Then, back over to Lambton Estate to be met by the amazing Bob Duff. Photographs by the river and then at the wonderful Lambton Castle. A huge thanks also to Adam Donald for letting us use his fab sports car. A productive morning.

Wind in the Willows

Rehearsals are underway for our May show, ‘Wind in the Willows’. We’re delighted to be putting together the North East debut of the popular show fresh from The Palladium in London’s West End. It’s a new version of Kenneth Grahame’s popular tale, written by Julian Fellowes, George Stiles and Anthony Drew. It had a fantastic script and wonderful music. 

The cast thoroughly enjoyed putting the first rehearsals of ‘The Wild Wooders’ onto the stage on Tuesday.
