Theatre in the Square was formed over 40 years ago when we used the name Gatehouse Theatre Club. This was because in 1967 our first production was at Ye Olde Gatehouse pub in Highgate Village.

Since then we have presented over 200 productions including new plays, original revues, and Music Halls. See Plays Performed.

After leaving the Gatehouse Pub, our original home, we have performed at several venues including the Hampstead Theatre, The Three Horseshoes, Great Northern Theatre, Springfield Theatre Highgate Literary & Scientific Institute, Dyne House (Highgate School Theatre), Kenwood House and Burgh House in Hampstead.

We are now fortunate to be able to use the United Reformed Church in Highgate but to avoid confusion with the ‘Upstairs at the Gatehouse’ theatre we changed our name in 2007. We are still a registered charity called the Gatehouse Theatre Club, operating as Theatre in the Square.

Since 1968 we have been regularly invited to perform at the Minack Open Air Theatre, Porthcurno, in Cornwall. This provides an opportunity for a week’s performance in an unusual setting with the sea as a backdrop. From 1968 onwards we have taken very varied plays to Minack and played in front of over 63,000 people during this period.

We were proud to have been asked to return in September 2008 with our production of They Came to a City by J.B.Priestley: our 20th production at Minack on the 40th anniversary of our first production.
