What does Gatton Community Theatre do?
Gatton Community Theatre (GCT) specialises in innovative theatre arts. It offers the opportunity for participants to experience and take part in something really unusual and creates for local audiences highly original productions in exciting or unexpected venues. The group is unique in this part of Surrey.
Participation in the project is open to all wherever they may live. GCT operates a policy of inclusiveness; anyone of any age and ability may take part in its productions. In GCT's last theatre production the youngest performer was aged 7 and the eldest 85 and many of our participants have had no previous acting experience before. There is no charge of any kind for membership, training or involvement.
Raising awareness among participants and audiences of the environment of Gatton Park and its place in local history is a key objective and because of this GCT works closely with the Gatton Park Foundation. GCT's use of the site enables large numbers of people to visit Gatton Park who may otherwise have been unaware of its existence and stunning restoration. Restoration of the grounds is carried out by volunteers.
