Drama Workshops with their basis in improvisation and devising, but including script.
‘The most fun I have all week’
Mondays in 5 week blocks at the Cause Arts Centre, Causeway Chippenham
Improvers 7.30 – 9pm (Beginners 6 -7.30pm)
For those who’ve been coming to us for a while, or who like to move a bit faster, this session is for you.
Come and join a lovely bunch of local budding thespians, who like to mess about, play games, take part in drama exercises and generally have fun while learning how to think on the spot, make up scenes and not always be restricted by the script.
You’ll explore scenes, develop strong characters then improvise the content with some idea of the outcomes – Mike Leigh style.
We’ll also be developing some scenes and creating longer pieces, so be prepared. We’d like to find opportunities to perform outside for those of you who are keen.
Term 1: Monday 22nd September – October 20th 2025
Term 2: Monday November 3rd – December 1st 2025
Term 3: Monday 5th January – Feb 2nd 2026

The Jane Austen Fan Club
2026-03-05 14:00 | Chippenham Library
Calling all Jane Austen fans! A fun theatre event like no other. The Jane Austen Fan Club is coming to Chippenham Library!
Charlotte and Ellie are best friends and Jane Austen superfans. Tonight’s a special meeting of the Jane Austen Fan Club – and everyone’s invited! Alongside the usual books, bonnets and biscuits, you can expect comedy, chaos and a lifesize cardboard Colin Firth.
With real life inconveniently intruding on the meeting, Charlotte and Ellie are faced with the question: in 250 years, how much have things really changed?
Hilarious and heartfelt, The Jane Austen Fan Club promises high drama, breathless romance and dancing of the highest quality*.
*Accurate at time of publishing – please note dancing may not be that high quality.
All performances are relaxed, baby-friendly and dementia-friendly.

Booking essential.

Jane Eyre
2026-03-14 19:00 - 20:30 | St Andrew’s Church, St Mary’s Street, Chippenham, SN15 3JN, United Kingdom
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.”
Orphaned and alone, Jane Eyre grows up in a world that seeks to silence her spirit. Defiant in
her search for freedom, belonging, and love, she finds herself at Thornfield Hall – where the
enigmatic Mr. Rochester hides dark secrets behind its walls.
Passion, mystery, and resilience collide in this sweeping story of self-discovery and courage,
brought to life in a bold new adaptation – with traditional folk music woven throughout – of
Charlotte Brontë’s timeless classic!
This is My Theatre cannot wait to kick start 2026 with their heart-warming and magical adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s beloved novel and they are so excited to be bringing it St Andrew’s Church on 14 March. So, don’t wait – get your tickets now and join us for a very special evening for all ages.
