GLJ THEATRE
We're proud to be one of the fastest growing local theatre companies around! Since opening its doors in 2015 GLJ THEATRE has grown from strength to strength opening new youth theatre classes, producing and creating brand new shows and performing at some of the largest events in the world.
GLJ Theatre was proud to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2016 with a brand new production PLAIN AS PAPER, and more recently THE JUNGLE BOOK and THE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS. GLJ Theatre also hosts the Wellingborough Community show at Glamis Hall every year and past productions have included ALICE THE MUSICAL and PINOCCHIO.
We have lots of magical plans coming soon to GLJ THEATRE including SEUSSICAL JR and PIRATES IN SPACE!

COMMUNITY THEATRE
GLJ Theatre belives that everyone should have the chance to take to the stage and feel the magic of theatre. With the continued support of Glamis Hall we're able to host a number of community productions throughout the year.
We're proud to present the WELLINGBOROUGH COMMUNITY SHOW on behalf of the town after funding stopped the project taking place at the local theatre.
GLJ Theatre have now presented six community theatre productions and has worked with over 200 people on stage and backstage.
The GLJ Community Theatre Show are FREE to take part in BUT all members must audition to take part in the show. Successful members are then invited to rehearsals on a Monday evening.

a little more info
Gary L Johnson opened GLJ THEATRE in September 2015 and the company has grown ever since. GLJ THEATRE loves to discover and create theatre through a fun and relaxed environment where everyone is welcome to become creative!
Gary himself was a member of his local youth theatre and theatre company (at The Castle, Theatre) before moving on to train professionally.
Gary said “The best way to learn the key skills of acting / theatre is by taking part in group exercises and playing lots and lots of fun games! It just makes everyone relax and get along very quickly… After the group has relaxed the young people pick up the important theatre techniques
very quickly."
Gary along with the help of GLAMIS HALL and
THE EARLS BARTON METHODIST CHURCH have made all sessions affordable for everyone (and we have plenty of packages to continue to support through your GLJ adventure)
So why not join "THE BEST... (so our members say) ...
YOUTH THEATRE AROUND!"
Please feel free to have a look around at what work we do!
