Welcome to Wetherby Musical Theatre Group

We are an amateur musical theatre and drama group, based in Wetherby, West Yorkshire. We love performing, whether that is a musical, straight play, or a mix of everything in a cabaret. We perform shows for Wetherby and the surrounding areas.

We aim to perform one major musical and one pantomime / smaller show each year. We also organise numerous fundraising events and social evenings throughout the year.

Our regular rehearsal venue is at Deighton Gates School.

We are always looking to recruit new members, young and old, to perform on stage or help out backstage.

New Show Announcement – Breezeblock Park – Spring 2025

We’re incredibly excited to officially reveal our next show, the hilarious play, Breezeblock Park which we’ll perform in Spring 2025.

Written by Willy Russell (the writer of Educating Rita and Blood Brothers), Breezeblock Park is a comedy set in the 1970s. Superior council house dwellers Betty, Reeny, Vera, and their men regard themselves as a close-knit family team despite their concealed jealousies and occasional recriminations. When Betty’s daughter Sandra announces she is pregnant and intends to live unmarried with her student lover, the news explodes like an atom bomb.

We’re also very excited to reveal that our Director will be our very own Jim Bower, who made his directorial debut with our production of the amazing Calendar Girls last year.

Open auditions take place on Tuesday 14 and Thursday 16 January 2025 at Deighton Gates Primary School (LS22 7XL). We will be hosting an open evening where you can meet the group and the Director, as well as read through the script and learn more about the characters.

We hope to see plenty of people at the auditions, please get in touch if you want to know more, receive audition pieces and express your interest. Please email: wetherbymtg@yahoo.co.uk.

Be sure to visit the Breezeblock Park page for the cast and audition information.

WMTG Turns 50 in 2025

Can you believe our group is nearly 50 years old? We launched our very first show in 1975, the wonderful Guys & Dolls. To celebrate, we’re bringing it back and putting a modern twist on it. Inspired by the current West End run, we’re taking the fantastic musical to The Engine Shed and performing it in the round.

More news and information about tickets, auditions and much more coming VERY SOON!!!
