Much like its college, the Green Door Theatre Company is the smallest of its kind in Durham. However, as any Chadsian will tell you, size is not indicative of skill and Green Door actively persevere to embody the ‘Small but mighty’ ethos of the college.
Our aim is to engage Chadsians and members of the university with drama on many levels, whilst also entertaining our fellow college and university members. With opportunities for acting, directing, producing and getting involved in the tech, drama is an important and diverse part or Chad’s. Green Door produce at least one central play per term and take full responsibility for the college pantomime at the end of the Michaelmas Term.
Currently Green Door are the only DST (Durham Student Theatre) Company that exists as part of its college JCR. This means that Green Door benefits from a wonderfully close relationship with St Chad’s College and that Chadsians of all ages, from the multiple common rooms, profit from the opportunities that having their own theatre company affords them.
Green Door welcome actors, producers, directors and tech members of all levels of experience and skill. If you want to be involved we’ll find a way to get you working with us. Engaging, approachable and, most importantly, fun Green Door is a Theatre Company run by students for students and love doing what we do.
