Rose Street Theatre Club

The Rose Street Theatre Club (RSTC) arranges monthly trips, ranging from Popular Musicals to Classical Concerts, from Plays to Operas and other outings.  All trips are by coach, picking up at a number of stops from Crowthorne through to Wokingham (including Nine Mile Ride, Rose Street and the Three Frogs), and the cost of the coach is included in the overall cost of the outing.

We aim to offer an exciting and comprehensive range of activities' and is 'a welcoming and safe way' to visit local theatres as well as the big London shows - something few elderly or handicapped people living alone would ever attempt.  We feel we meet the 'social needs of our community' in a very practical way, and have seen many friendships established that extend beyond the club's activities.

Annual Report (March 2024)

The Theatre Club continues to be in good health, both from a financial and a membership perspective.  We provide fellowship and friendship to those already within the Church and also to many who have no previous Church connection, and feel we meet the social needs of our community in a very practical way.  Our varied and comprehensive range of activities are particularly appreciated by those who are on their own, and who are most unlikely to travel into London’s theatre-land by themselves, and we have seen many friendships established that extend beyond the club’s activities.

We have had a full programme of monthly trips either to the theatre, a concert or a place of interest.  We are trying where possible to get matinee performances for the theatres by popular request from the members.

This year we are planning two day trips, one to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the Mary Rose museum and the other to Bletchley Park.

Our membership now stands at 360, average bookings are holding up well despite the inevitable increase in costs.  We will continue to limit the impact of this as far as possible.

We welcome applications for membership from all members of our congregation.
