History

CSC Open Air Theatre

The company was founded by Michael Wiseman in order to produce the plays in traditional settings, both open air and with respect to costumes and sets. The participating actors are amateur performers from the Chilterns and Thames Valley areas.

The Open Air Theatre (set up specifically every summer) is a 450+ seat covered auditorium that offers a full view of the stage and includes special facilities for the disabled and hard of hearing.[2] Facilities include parking space close to the auditorium, and food and refreshments are available at the bar in the main marquee.

Many visitors have picnics in the surrounding parkland.

The patrons include the Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons, and the owner of the location of the performances.[1] Its joint Presidents are Susan and Dickon Thorndike.

Future Productions

The production for 2012 is Macbeth, once again to be staged in the grounds of Hall Barn, Beaconsfield.

Performance dates are 13th to 16th June 2012 and 20th to 23rd June 2012 with a matinee on the 23rd.

Auditions are held annually in late January/early February with rehearsals running from March through to performances.
