How it Started

In 1981, ten of Coral Gould's vocal pupils produced a Music Hall Show to raise funds for the Abbot Beyne School in Burton upon Trent, to hire costumes for their school production of 'The Gondoliers'.


It then developed into a touring show, doing on average one a month, to help raise funds for various organisations in village, church and schools halls, and once in a stately home.

More than twenty five years later, we are a large community group producing musical shows three times a year at The Brewhouse Arts Centre which is situated in the town centre of Burton on Trent. Our shows range from well known 'box office hits' to lesser known shows that stretch our members abilities.
