Who we are, what we do and why.
We are a group of like-minded people who love to perform. There are a wide range of talented people who, when put together have been putting on shows since 1929 which leaves just 3 years years until we reach our centenary year! We rehearse on Mondays and Thursday evenings (8pm – 10pm). Rehearsals are great fun and are just as fulfilling as the show itself. Read more about us, the society and how you can get involved.
If you would like to meet us, please either get in touch with us or come along to an evening rehearsal to check us out. We are always looking for volunteers to help with costumes, set design, promotions and much more, we would be grateful for any contribution that you could make.
The Great British Bake Off
9th to 13th June 2026
Book by Jake Brunger; Lyrics by Pippa Cleary and Jake Brunger
Director, Darren Barsby
Musical Director, Christopher Burrett
The Great British Bake Off: The Musical is a joyous, heart-warming celebration of friendship, resilience and the magic of baking. Inspired by the beloved TV phenomenon The Great British Bake Off, this delightful show brings the iconic white tent to life with a delicious blend of humour, rivalry and show-stopping songs.
Follow a group of amateur bakers as they whisk, knead and caramelise their way through a series of challenges, all under the watchful eyes of two exacting judges and the show’s delightfully upbeat presenters. As the competition heats up, so do the personal stories: nerves are tested, friendships are formed, and each contestant discovers that there’s far more at stake than a simple cake stand.
Full of warmth, wit and irresistible tunes, this feel-good musical rises perfectly, serving up laughter, heart and a generous helping of British charm. Join us this June for a theatrical treat that’s simply scrumptious!

Welcome
Mandy Sayers
(Chair)
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you and thank you for supporting the Thalian Theatre Company (formally The Welwyn Thalian Society). We took the opportunity in 2022 to have a think about our name and what it stands for and we thought that the Thalian Theatre Company sums us up best. You may also have noticed that we have a new logo which reflects our history, with our centenary approaching in 2029!
If you haven’t already, please sign up to become a Friend of Thalians so that we can send you our Newsletter from time to time and if you would like notification of auditions for our upcoming shows, this in an ideal way to keep in touch.
I would like too to encourage anyone who does not wish to tread the boards, but would like help out with behind-the-scene activities such as set design and or build, costumes, makeup, props, front of house etc, to get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
I very much look forward to welcoming you to our theatre and hope you enjoy the show.
Mandy Sayers, Chair
