Markfield & Thornton Theatre Group

The much anticipated next performance by the Markfield and Thornton theatre group – Holiday Snap – commences on Tuesday 24th September for a 4 night run.

Tickets still available – £8

The group are asking for volunteers to help them build the set on stage at Thornton Community Centre. This will take place over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday 14th & 15th September from 8am.

Do you have skills with a hammer and nails and a few hours to spare that weekend and perhaps for future performances?

Then please contact Andy Dobrowolski on 01530 469714 or if it’s easier email – MTTG.Theatre@gmail.com

MTTG is a small friendly group who would make you most welcome whether you would like to join them backstage or indeed on the stage. They normally meet for a couple of hours at the Community Centre on a Wednesday evening.

Markfield & Thornton Theatre Group – April Production

In honour of the late much loved Muriel Walker, The Markfield & Thornton Theatre Group (MTTG) will be dedicating our upcoming shows to her.

Funds raised from our raffle and 50% of ticket sales will be donated to Marie Curie in her memory.

We hope to do her proud with our latest production ‘Three for All’ – a selection of One Act Comedy Plays.

Play One – ‘I Remember When’ written by Dawn Cairns and directed by Tadeuz Dobrowolski. Synopsis: John looks forward to re-visiting his childhood holiday campsite but his wife Sheila is not so sure, particularly when John insists his curmudgeonly mother come along too.

Play Two – ‘Job for Life’ written and directed by Group member Wayne Roberts. Synopsis: First day on the job a young new security guard hopes to make an impression. But the job may not be as exciting as he hopes, and just what is in the box?

Play Three – ‘Last Tango in Little Grimley’ written by popular playwright David Tristram and directed by Caylee Gutsell. Synopsis: A struggling Theatre group are down to just 4 members, with audience numbers even lower. A hilarious play about the drastic measures the group take to stop them going under!

The shows will run 17th – 20th April at Thornton Community Centre. Tickets are £6 each, to purchase please contact

07438 508166 or 01530 469714 or mttg.theatre@gmail.com

The audience will be seated at tables, and you are welcome to bring your own nibbles and drinks

If you would like to donate a prize to the raffle please reach out to Caylee Gutsell.

We would be very grateful.

We do hope that you will come along to support your local Group and help us raise money for the amazing work Marie Curie do. MTTG
