Well, our cast have just found out… and as you can see, they’re taking the news VERY well! 👀🤣

🌾 SCARECROW is scratching his straw-filled head! 🧠 He might not have a brain, but even HE knows booking tickets is a no-brainer!

🎃🔮 “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…” 💚✨

It's HALLOWEEN, and whilst ghosts, ghouls and witches are out causing mischief, we've got a little magic of our own brewing in the Emerald City! 👻🌪️

This Halloween, we're pulling back the curtain to introduce the mysterious, the magnificent, the all-powerful… WIZARD OF OZ! 🎩💚

🪄 Bringing this larger-than-life character to the stage is the wonderful Sam McCarthy! 🌟

But is he really the great and powerful wizard everyone believes him to be? Or is there something a little spook-tacular hiding behind that curtain? 👀

You'll have to follow the Yellow Brick Road to find out! 🌈✨

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
97 years of Clacton Musical Theatre Society!

There’s something magical about looking back at where it all began. Those early days in 1929 when a group of local performers stepped onto the stage with The Pirates of Penzance full of hope and excitement. The faces in this old photo remind us that CMTS has always been built on stories. Stories told on stage, stories shared backstage, stories carried in the hearts of everyone who’s ever been part of this society.

Over the decades, CMTS has changed names and changed eras but the spirit has stayed the same. A community of people coming together to create something bigger than themselves.

From operettas to musicals, from classics to pantomimes, we’ve spent 97 years telling stories that make people laugh, cry, and believe in a little bit of magic.

We would love to hear your best memories of CMTS in the comments......

🍎🌾 An apple a day keeps the doctor away… but what about the crows?🐦‍⬛

It’s National Apple Day, and we thought it was the ‘perfect pick’ to introduce our next character from Oz – The Pantomime! 🌈✨

Meet the wonderfully talented Teegan Deeks, who will be bringing our loveable, straw-stuffed SCARECROW to life! 🌾💛

He might be outstanding in his field, but will he have the brains to keep those pesky crows away? 🧠🐦‍⬛

We’re sure Teegan will be straw-some in the role, and you’d be barking mad to miss her!

Have you got the confidence, comedy and larger-than-life personality to bring a fabulous Pantomime Dame to life? Well, we want to hear from YOU!

We're delighted to announce that we will be holding auditions for the role of Auntie Em in our upcoming production of Oz – The Pantomime!

We're looking for someone who can bring all the wonderful qualities of a traditional Panto Dame to the stage – big personality, brilliant comic timing, plenty of audience interaction and, of course, a healthy dose of cheekiness! 💋

📅 AUDITION DATE: Thursday 1st October 2026

Want to find out more and learn the material?

Join us on Tuesday 22nd September at 9pm, when our Production Team will be available to answer your questions, explain the audition requirements and provide details of the material you'll need to prepare.

⚠️ Please note: This will be the designated opportunity to speak with the Production Team about the Dame auditions. Whilst you are welcome to attend other rehearsals, these are dedicated working rehearsals, and the team will not be available for individual audition enquiries on those evenings. Please ensure you attend on Tuesday 22nd if you require any information or guidance.

So, if you're ready to embrace the wigs, the wit and the wonderful world of Pantomime, come along and show us what you've got!

We can't wait to meet our Auntie Em! 👠✨
