Belmont Theatre is an established multi-award winning resident theatre company based at The Pump House Theatre and Arts Centre, Watford, Hertfordshire. Although an amateur company run entirely by volunteers, we strive for excellence in all theatrical matters and perform a wide variety of productions (classic dramas, comedies and thrillers) three times a year. We draw most of our members and audiences from Hertfordshire, Middlesex and Greater London and our performances sell out more often than not. Our membership includes all levels of experience from beginner to professional (unpaid). Besides the actors, an average production can need up to 30 people behind the scenes to put the production on so we always need new members with diverse skills. Please contact 07917 324179 to learn more.

Be My Baby is a sparkling comedy by the writer of the hit production 'Lend me a Tenor'. The play tells the story of John, an irascible Scotsman, and Maud, an uptight English woman, both in their late 50s, who take the journey of a lifetime.  They are brought together when his ward marries her niece.  Then, when the young couple decides to adopt a new born baby, the older couple has to travel 6,000 miles to California to pick up the child and bring her safely home to Scotland.  The problem is, John and Maud despise each other.  To make matters worse, they get stranded in San Francisco for several weeks and are expected to jointly care for the helpless newborn.  There they form a new partnership and learn some startling lessons about life and love

A quote from the author about our production of Bothered and Bewildered
Thank you so much for getting in touch with me
It is lovely to hear how an audience has responded to a production of one of my plays
Irene is a very demanding role so hats off to you for what must have been an excellent portrayal to have elicited such positive responses to the role
I loved writing and directing the show's premier in Chester - and then watching it sail forth to the world via Samuel French
I think it will always be one of my favourite pieces of writing ie raising awareness of a difficult condition for both the sufferer and family - but managing to combine that with what I hope is an entertaining night at the theatre.



Quotes from our Audience:

A SELECTION OF BELMONT PLAYS  ...

What can joining Belmont Theatre really do for me?
  • Great fun.
  • Find new friends.
  • Create live entertainment.
  • Learn and develop new skills.
  • Gain more confidence.
Famous faces who first started in amateur theatre include Helen Mirren and Daniel Craig.
If you have ever considered taking a stab at the acting world, wait no longer and head in the direction of your performing dreams. 
Why? The answer is simple, but powerful. Becoming a thespian, director, stage-hand, costumer, prop master, stage manager as well as promoting the show and ensuring the performances run smoothly. Being in an amateur theatre group has far more intrinsic benefits than many people realise. And who knows where joining amateur theatre society might take you!
