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 John Godber 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!

Drama Over!
What a fantastic show it has been. After sellout performances, the Lovelace Panto 'Cinders' was a great success! There was even more drama on stage when our smoke machine set off the fire alarm and we had to evacuate the building temporarily!
This however never dampened the enuthiasm of the cast or audience and the show went on.

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
