However, as in many spheres, there is a constant turnover of members and the group is always on the lookout for both new acting talent and people interested in theatre ready to play a backstage role in a variety of ways such as dress making, costume design, set design, building and decoration, stage management, publicity, lighting and sound. On performance nights we also need front of house staff. Actors of all ages and gender are welcome. Recently, we have found that students following a course of study in the performing arts find it useful to get experience \u2018on the ground\u2019 via Am-Dram.<\/p>\n<div>New members who wish to take part or help off stage are very welcome.<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to get involved, get in touch without delay.
