And just like that, the fireworks have finished for the cast and crew of Romantic Comedy, who took their final bows this evening. Huge congrats to everyone involved 👏👏👏👏

Now we turn our sights to the final show of the 2025/26 Season at WT, which a little bird tells us is already more than 85% sold out…

So for one final time, Romantic Comedy, over and out 🎇🎆

"There was magic on that stage"
"I've been coming to WT for over 40 years, this is one of their very best"
"They looked like they were having so much fun on stage"
"The moving scene behind the windows was spectacular. I've never seen anything like it"
"Did I get lost? Is this the West End?"

With just ONE performance left for Romantic Comedy, we wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge congratulations to the cast and crew for all you've achieved.

These audience comments from the last few days speak for themselves 👏

There's still quite a lot of seats left for tonight, but we'd love to end on a high. So if you haven't booked your ticket yet, please do. And don't be put off by a house that looks less full currently, this cast have the energy to fill the rafters!

📣 AUDITION NOTICE 📣⁠

We are pleased to share the audition notice for the first of our new Studio Night productions. Death And The Maiden by Ariel Dorfman won the Olivier award for best new play in 1992 and is a fiercely intelligent, claustrophobic, and morally complex thriller.

A remote South American beach house. A chance encounter. A past that refuses to stay buried, thanks to the arrival of a stranger one night. This psychological drama is a gripping and deeply unsettling battle of memory, justice, and power.

Readthrough: Friday 26 June: 7.45pm, WT foyer
Auditions: Friday 3 July: 7.45pm, WT foyer
Sunday 5 July: 2.30pm, WT Foyer
Rehearsals: TBC but likely to be Mondays, Wednesday and some Sundays.
Performances: 11 to 14 November

🎭 The creative opportunities for getting involved with a Wokingham Theatre production extend far beyond acting, with the technical teams backstage providing the beating heart of theatre life.⁠
⁠
A production’s technical elements – set, sound, lights, costume, props, stage management etc – are so important; without them, it’s just people standing on stage. ⁠
⁠
It is the creativity of the technical team that makes a play come to life. And we want to make it more accessible to people wishing to learn these skills.⁠
⁠
As we approach our 2026-27 season, our Technical Director, Gary, is welcoming anyone who'd like to try their hand at a technical skill, either existing member or new.⁠
⁠
If you'd like to join the backstage crew at Wokingham Theatre, drop Gary an email at [email protected] to have a chat.⁠
