Hereford Musical Theatre Company

HMTC is Herefordshire's leading musical theatre company. We were founded in 1898 as Hereford Amateur Operatic Society. We have a fantastic, enthusiastic membership ranging from ages 8 to 80!

The adult company stages a major musical every year. This is in the Autumn at the Courtyard Theatre. We are renowned for our professional standards even though we are amateurs. We sing, dance, act, all with excellent lighting, staging & sound. We love entertaining the audiences of Hereford.

We have a thriving youth theatre which meets on Sunday afternoons and stages its own show every February at our own theatre and sometimes there are opportunities for youth members to be involved in the Courtyard productions.

We meet at our premises in Whitecross Road on a Tuesday. If we are rehearsing for a show, the chorus sing on Tuesdays. Principals and dancers rehearse on other nights. Initially, the chorus will rehearse once a week but expect to be called more frequently as we get closer to opening night.

Potential new members are required to take an audition. This consists of reading a short piece of dialogue and singing a song.

There is yearly subscription charge - please contact us for details as there a range of levels.
