Dunstable Rep
Share
Quality theatre, volunteer run, for Dunstable, Luton and the surrounding areas The Little Theatre is the home of the Dunstable Rep.
We were founded in 1945 and performed at the old Town Hall.
2008 saw us commemorate our move to the Little Theatre 40 years ago. Originally a library, the Little Theatre was opened by the ‘Carry On’ star Bernard Breslaw in October 1968. Six amateur shows are performed annually in the 99 seat auditorium, together with a thriving programme of additional performances.
Rehearsals are in full swing for Sheila’s Island – which is lucky, as there’s less than two weeks before the first performance!
Have a look at what our fantastic foursome have been up to…then book your ticket to come see them in person.
