The Regal Theatre aims to present a varied professional programme of high quality performing arts by companies who have earned a fine reputation at regional level. The Regal is able to do this because of the support which the West Somerset Community gives to the theatre.
A group of enthusiastic theatre goers is now helping us to make a visit to the Regal a more enjoyable experience by setting up a REGAL THEATRE CLUB. The Club will be launched in the bar pre-show and in the interval of BRISTOL OLD VIC THEATRE SCHOOL's production of ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL on 3rd JULY 2007.
Members will enjoy the following benefits:
A hospitality corner in the bar for members before a theatre club show - wine & cake or snacks appropriate to the show
Additional information about theatre club companies in newsletters or email postings
Opportunities to meet cast members after the show where possible
Special deals for some theatre club shows
Occasional pre-show suppers at local restaurants

Adam Price was Best Male Actor under 21 and Alice Martin was Best Female Actor under 21 for their parts in Minehead Youth Theatre’s ‘Blood Brothers’, and Sarah Jane Cross won the prize for the Best Cameo Performance for her part as the maid in Barnstormers’ Fallen Angels.
Everyone came away feeling pleased with themselves and happy that the large number of nominations across the range of West Somerset companies reflected the fact that local drama is alive and well.
