Welcome.   
 

Hello, thank you for visiting and welcome along to the website of the Lovelace Theatre Group. We are small but dynamic and vibrant group engaged in the production of plays musicals and amateur theatre.

The Lovelace Theatre Group puts on three productions a year and has a long history dating back to the late 60's. We perform at the Hucknall Community Centre in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. The building is a converted church hall which has a purpose built stage complete with licenced bar and full amenities. There's rumoured to be a ghost wandering about backstage too!

Feel free to browse the website. We hope you enjoy looking around.

Two One Act Plays
October 2009
Hiccups and Slipups
by John Townsend

Last Tango in Little Grimley
by David Tristram

The first act of the evening, Hiccups and Slipups, concerns the mad goings on in a vet's waiting room and a hapless assistant gets called upon to administer more than
just a tonic!

A play within a play pretty much sums up the synopsis of the second act in our October offering, a charming comedy drama about a Theatre Committee Meeting.

  The Venue History
 
The natural home of the Lovelace Theatre Group is the Hucknall 
Community Centre on Ogle Street in Hucknall.  Placed next to
Hucknall Church, the final resting place of Lord Byron, the building 
dates back to 1906. More..

    

So, how did it all start? Well, in 1968 a teacher called David Henty came to live in Hucknall. When he discovered that there was no drama group in the town he decided to form one to showcase the talent of Hucknall and beyond. The church hall was the promised venue and with borrowed money he staged a grand performance of 'Cinderella' and so the Hucknall Dramatic Society was born... Click here for more info.
