The 1812 Theatre Company is the in-house amateur company of Helmsley Arts Centre, with a rich and varied show history, producing up to four productions and the ever popular 1812 Pantomime each year. We’re always keen to welcome new members. Whatever age, with our without experience, there are many ways you can join in: on or offstage! The 1812 also has a play reading group which is open to all and provides an opportunity to read a variety of scripts.
