Meet Catherine, one of our amazing volunteers who helps to bring the magic of theatre alive in the props department here at the Louth Riverhead Theatre

Meet Laura, one of our performer/volunteers, who works either backstage looking after the children as a licensed chaperone, or helps you with your ticket enquiries on the Box Office.

Meet Lyndsey, one of our super talented volunteers, who works hard on all the sets that you see with LPS productions and is usually backstage making sure the show runs without any problems.

Brush up on your backstage banter with our Theatre Glossary: B edition! From "Blocking" to "Burlesque," we explain all the key terms you're likely to hear in rehearsals or at the interval wine queue. Perfect for anyone dipping their toes into the world of theatre or just keen to sound like a pro.

Feeling disconnected? Volunteering might just be the answer. At Louth Playgoers, our volunteers aren’t just helping run shows—they’re building community, boosting their wellbeing, and making a real difference in a part of the country where access to the arts is limited. Find out why getting involved is good for the heart, mind, and soul (and maybe even your social life).

Ever wondered what an "ASM" does or why someone shouts "Are you decent?" backstage? Our Theatre Glossary series kicks off with the letter A, breaking down essential stage terms for newcomers and seasoned theatre lovers alike. From "Act" to "Auditorium," it's your beginner-friendly guide to speaking fluent theatre.

Community theatre is more than jazz hands and dress rehearsals, it’s a mental health lifeline. In this heartfelt (and hilarious) blog, we explore how getting involved in theatre can boost confidence, reduce anxiety, and build lasting friendships, all backed by real-life stories and research.
