Spotlight Musical Theatre Group formed in late 1993. The aim being to produce two high quality musicals each year for the enjoyment of the local community of Beccles and the surrounding areas. We are a self-funding, friendly, supportive and inclusive group of mainly adults. We encourage new members to join us and 'have a go'!
Rehearsals are held mostly on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7.00pm and 9.30pm at either The Friends Meeting House in Beccles or Burgh St Peter Village Hall and run for approximately four to five months for each show.
During the pandemic, Spotlight saw a decline in both membership numbers and finances. Since then we have struggled to afford to present full musicals on the big stage and therefore, sadly, we had to move away from the Public Hall Theatre in Beccles and use smaller halls to present more affordable shows and 'Murder Mystery' evenings. The Committee and members of the group have worked tirelessly to re build the membership and vital funds, through lots of social fundraising events, and are delighted to have been able to make a return to the Public Hall in 2025. Spotlight hope to continue to build on this positive step and return to presenting full musicals annually for many years to come. Thanks must go to the local community for supporting us!
