The Jordan River Community Theatre group is a vibrant and welcoming space for creative expression. It was founded in 2024 under the direction of John Adkins, an actor, play­wright, artistic director and mentor. The group held its first production, a lively variety concert, at the Brighton Civic Centre, drawing an enthusias­tic audience of over 80 people.

Since then, Jordan River Community Theatre has grown into a supportive and fun-lov­ing community, now rehears­ing four exciting plays to be performed at their new home, Pontville Hall.

The group is looking for new members of all backgrounds to help bring its productions to life. Future plans include acting workshops and expanding into musicals, variety shows and rolling performances through­out the year.

The theatre is a fantastic way to build confidence, meet new people and uncover hidden talents. Many members of the group started with little or no stage experience, but brought enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new.

Whether you dream of act­ing, enjoy working behind the scenes, or simply want to be part of something creative and rewarding, there’s a place for you. Come along and be part of the fun – everyone is welcome!
