Welcome to Theatrecraft Herne Bay

Theatrecraft Herne Bay is an award winning amateur dramatic society based in Herne Bay, Kent.

We have been entertaining local audiences since 1948 and put on three major productions each year: a play, a musical and Herne Bay's annual pantomime.

Out of Order by Ray Cooney

Out of Order

📅 Thursday 9 – Saturday 11 April 2026 | Whitstable Playhouse

Theatrecraft presents Out of Order by Ray Cooney, a fast-paced farce built on sharp dialogue, quick-fire entrances and escalating confusion.

Set in a Westminster hotel room, a government minister's secret evening spirals into frantic cover-ups, mistaken identities and pure comic chaos, where timing is everything and nothing goes to plan.

A masterclass in comic timing and teamwork, and a guaranteed evening of laugh-out-loud theatre.

All Shook Up Musical

All Shook Up

📅 Thu 16th - Sat 18th July 2026

Theatre in the Park, Strode Park House

A new musical comedy by Joe DiPietro

This July, the open air theatre at Strode Park comes alive with rock 'n' roll magic.

All Shook Up is a feel-good jukebox musical bursting with the electrifying music of Elvis Presley. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, it tells the story of a mysterious guitar-playing stranger whose arrival in a small, buttoned-up town sets hearts racing, sparks flying, and feet tapping.

Expect comedy, romance, mistaken identities, and a playlist of Elvis classics that will have you grinning from ear to ear - all performed under the summer sky.

Fast-paced, playful, and full of heart, it's the perfect evening out for friends, families, and anyone who's ever wanted to shake loose and be themselves.

Come and join us - this is one summer night not to be missed.
