We are Hartlepool Stage Society

Founded in 1953, originally as the Hartlepool Gilbert and Sullivan Society, our amateur dramatic society has been entertaining audiences in the North East of England for over 70 years.

Over the years the society began expanding its musical repertoire beyond G&S productions and the decision was taken in 1993 to rename ourselves the Hartlepool Stage Society.

Preforming musical theatre has always been at the heart of the society from our very earliest production of Mikado on the 26 April 1954 to our most recent productions such as The Addams Family; Little Shop of Horrors; and Young Frankenstein, and the Juniors’ productions of Peter Pan; Alice’s Wonderful Adventure; and The Little Mermaid.

Whether performing musical concerts or a full-blown production, our society prides itself on producing quality entertainment to the local community with local talent, while having a lot of fun in the process!
