About Us

The Norfolk & Norwich Threshold Theatre Group was set up in 1995 to provide a training ground for its parent company,
the Norfolk & Norwich Operatic Society.

One of Threshold's objectives is "to train young and inexperienced people to gain a good knowledge of all aspects of the dramatic arts".

The company put on its first production, 'West Side Story' in 1995 and in 1997 we gained a National Lottery award from the Arts Council. This was used to provide workshops and training for Threshold members.

From its start until 2001, Threshold performed at the Walter Roy Theatre at the Hewett School, Norwich. In May 2003 Threshold moved to our present home, the prestigious Norwich Playhouse with our production of 'Sweet Charity'.

Our 2004 production of 'Spend, Spend, Spend!' was an East Anglian amateur premiere and were honoured to have the attendance of Viv Nicholson, around whose life this fabulous show is based, at the opening night.

At the 2008 NODA East annual conference, hosted by the NNOS, we were honoured to be awarded the Shield for best production in the district for 'The Hired Man', a major achievement and a credit to all involved.
