Sheringham Little Theatre is a community venue serving the people of North Norfolk. The theatre has a firm commitment to involving the local community in quality arts activities and providing a wide variety of performances, exhibitions and events, accessible to everyone.
As a valuable community resource, local groups regularly use the theatre for performances and functions, with many groups also using the theatre’s wardrobe and workshop facility.
Performances and workshops take place throughout the year in theatre, music, film and literature in addition to a regular programme of events for children and families. Supporting the wealth of regional talent, professional and amateur visual artists are invited to show their work in the exhibition area, whilst local musicians are given the opportunity to perform in the informal setting of the coffee bar on Sunday evenings.
Since the re-opening of Sheringham Little Theatre in June 1997, the theatre has attracted new audiences throughout the region. At Sheringham Little Theatre we celebrate and promote the arts in all its forms and aim to bring a varied and balanced programme to the North Norfolk residents and visitors. |

Justin Barnard - … all the mighty world Of eye and ear, - both what they half create, And what perceive…(William Wordsworth, from Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey). The idea is ageless. What the eye sees is ever changing. Our genes are unique as our thoughts. Most music and form are still to be discovered. Reality constrains imagination only slenderly.

He meets the women at the cemetery whilst visiting his wife's grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They become guilt stricken however when this nearly breaks Ida's heart. This play is a touching study of life after bereavement and explores the complexities of friendship in difficult times with humour and dignity.

Not so long ago housewives had a number of very good reasons to be desperate. Not only did they have to look after their families in an age of depression, war and austerity, but they did so without the consumer durables that we now consider essential. With humour frequently in its sights, Housewives' Choice is a programme of films from the BFI National Archive that explores the lives of British housewives from the 1920s to the 1950s. The programme includes documentaries, cinemagazines, propaganda films and adverts. It also features films by two of the women who helped to shape the British documentary movement of the 1930s and 40s – Ruby Grierson (1904-40) and Kay Mander (1915).
SPECIAL EVENT: The film will be introduced by film historian Stewart Orr.

The Magic Lozenge is a light-hearted story of dark secrets and private passions, to the accompaniment of evocative new music infused with tantalizing echoes of Gilbert and Sullivan favourites. Mocking modern society's craze for a quick fix, this musical play, written by two members of The Sheringham Savoyards, is about a group of friends who hope for life-changing effects from a so-called magic lozenge.

| Event: COMEDY - A Kipper Country Christmas |
Venue/Time: Sheringham Little Theatre 7.30pm |
| presented by Sid Kipper
For your delight Sid Kipper, icon and iconoclast, pulls out the plums of his Yuletide repertoire, sticks bits of holly on them, drenches them in brandy and sets them ablaze. By their light he looks back at rural winters when snowflakes glistened, frosty winds made moan, and it really was deep and crisp and even. "It was cold, but fair. Well, even the rich couldn't light a fire with a little boy up their chimney, could they?" Present times are not ignored and the show has tips for those new to rural life, culled from Sid's recent Channel 4 podcast series 'The Kipper Country Code'. This is sprinkled over seasonal songs, stories, rhymes and reason, with the odd musical instrument and - this being Christmas - nuts. "Nuts are very important at Christmas - along with stockings, crackers, breast, legs and stuffing. Without them mother wouldn't know what to talk about." Along the way Carol is sung, Belle's told, and Sherry is trifled with. There's turkey talked, pies minced, and sausages rolled. In short, Yule is comprehensively logged in a thoroughly entertaining fashion.
