How To Get Involved
The SSA boasts a large membership of both acting and
backstage talents, and we cater for people of all ages, though for full
membership you must be over 16 years old. The SSA offers the chance to see and, if you want to,
perform in the plays of Shakespeare and other writers of merit; and it is also
a great way to meet people and have fun. Our youth company, Upstage! is aimed at teenagers,
presenting the opportunity to learn theatre skills and take part in in-house
and main house productions. The group
meets once a week during term-time at our HQ in Omega Street, Portsmouth. We also have a group of supporters of the company, the
"Friends of the SSA". As well
as receiving our regular newsletter "Billboard", Friends are entitled
to attend our in-house productions and social events, get generous discounts on
tickets and vote at the AGM. Recent members only events have included a production of
"Blasted" by Sarah Kane and a poker night.
Acting: £24 a year
Friend: £10 a year
As an acting member you have the opportunity to audition and perform in any of our productions over the year. You will receive details of all our productions through Billboard. If you are interested you can also put forward a proposal to Direct a production either In-House (at HQ) or a main house. You will be invited to all our In-House Productions and Club Nights
