Thank you if you transferred from our original website to this new one.
The reason for your transfer:
NEW NAME
For nearly 40 years we have 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.
Since 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 have found it confusing to advertise ourselves and productions in the North London area. This is mainly due to the confusion caused with the ‘Upstairs at the Gatehouse’ theatre.
It has therefore been decided to present our group under a new working name
We are still a registered charity called the Gatehouse Theatre Club t/a as Theatre in the Square.
All our future publicity, advertising and literature will be under the banner of
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 weeks 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 are proud to have been asked to return in September this year 2008 with our production of 'They Came to a City' by J.B.Priestley our 20th production at Minack.
