giving
a

ALLESTREE THEATRE GROUP
A Brief History
The
Allestree
Theatre
Group
was
founded
in
1960
when
a
group
of
residents
met
at
the
house
of
Robert
(Bob)
and
Roma
Wilcock
in Birchover Way, Allestree and since then we have presented two full length plays virtually every year.
The
first
production,
in
May
1961,
was
a
single
performance
of
the
three
act
play
“Happy
Days”,
a
prophetic
phrase
for
the
ATG.
It
was rehearsed and performed at Fraser Hall, Leylands Cottage Homes, Broadway, Derby.
“Bonaventure”
and
“Blithe
Spirit”
were
the
first
two
paying
audience
productions
at
Sturgess
School,
Queensway,
now
a
cleared
site. Scenery had been acquired from a TV production in Manchester and some of it was still used until fairly recently.
St
Nicholas’
Church
was
the
venue
for
“Casey”
and

ALLESTREE THEATRE GROUP
A Brief History
The
Allestree
Theatre
Group
was
founded
in
1960
when
a
group
of
residents
met
at
the
house
of
Robert
(Bob)
and
Roma
Wilcock
in
Birchover
Way,
Allestree
and
since
then
we
have
presented
two full length plays virtually every year.
The
first
production,
in
May
1961,
was
a
single
performance
of
the
three
act
play
“Happy
Days”,
a
prophetic
phrase
for
the
ATG.
It
was
rehearsed
and
performed
at
Fraser
Hall,
Leylands
Cottage
Homes, Broadway, Derby.
“Bonaventure”
and
“Blithe
Spirit”
were
the
first
two
paying
audience
productions
at
Sturgess
School,
Queensway,
now
a
cleared
site.
Scenery
had
been
acquired
from
a
TV
production
in
Manchester
and
some
of
it
was
still
used
until
fairly recently.
St
Nicholas’
Church
was
the
venue
for
“Casey”
and
Sudbury
Prison
the
venue
for
“Birthday
Honours” in 1962 and 1963 respectively.
