The Green Room Theatre in Cheshire was founded in 1924 and is hosting shows to celebrate the occasion.
Members of an amateur dramatic society thought to be one of the oldest in the UK are celebrating the group's 100th anniversary.
“Both of us wanted to act but in those days there were very few drama colleges up here and you had to go down to London,” Mr Reynolds added. Over the years, they’ve put on productions by playwrights including Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, Arthur Miller, Michael Palin, Willy Russell and Oscar Wilde, among many others.“Somebody said what is the one word I would use to describe the Green Room and I said friendship,” Mr Reynolds said.David Reynolds and Belinda Coghlan have been involved with the society for 60 yearsTimothy Wren is playing the lead in their current production of Noel Coward’s Present Laughter.
“They’re opportunities that are available to anybody and that’s what I really like about theatres like this,” he said.“People seem to see it as a closed circle, but it’s really not," he continued. “You learn a new skill and it’s a nice way of feeling part of a community and you’re investing in yourself because you’re learning new skills and having a good time while doing it.”
