About Us

West Meon Theatre is a community theatre group, founded in 1993 by Mary Dawson. It ‘s membership, which draws from the length & breadth  of the Meon Valley and beyond, now numbers over 120 including 48 youth theatre members.

The company performs in a wide variety of venues and spaces including, West Meon Village Hall, Meon Hall at Meonstoke, Winchester Theatre Royal, the Thomas Lord Pub, tents in gardens and various open-air venues.

The artistic programme includes plays, musicals, pantomimes, open-air Shakespeare cabaret evenings, fringe events in pubs and site specific work.

Early in 2010 the group won various awards at the Daily Echo Curtain Call Awards including the much coveted production of the year for Cider With Rosie, the ensemble piece that was performed in the round in an Indian tent in the gardens of the Thomas Lord in July 2009. 

This is the second time the group has won this award, the last time was in 2003.

The Youth Theatre runs two groups, a senior group ages 12 -17 and a junior group ages 7-11. Both groups meet for monthly workshop sessions, and more often when in rehearsal for a production. Click here for further details.
