Christmas Murder Mystery
Santa Did It!
This December we are planning a semi-improvised murder mystery. We need at least 4 actors to play the several characters. It will be a wacky combination of short scenes to be acted, actors improving the suspects being questioned by members of the audience, and statements read out in character.
This will be a great opportunity for anyone curious about getting up in front of an audience but not wanting to commit to learning a script.
If you are interested in attending the auditions in early November, get in touch. There will be a short rehearsal process and the performance will take place in mid Dec. Details to follow.
For more information or to put yourself forward email us

Hothouse Youth Group
A New Beginning
Hothouse Theatre’s Youth Group is evolving. After 15 years of being focused on the Brickyard Estate and Bakersfield we are going walkabout… after a fashion.
In the past we have always been centred on the Brickyard Community Centre and Bakersfield Community Centre, and we have recruited largely from the Brickyard. Unfortunately, we can no long use the Brickyard (it is not available at weekends), added to this, there just seem to be less young people in area, or at least less, wandering the streets looking for something to do. Probably at least partly to do with the growth of the use of ‘devises’ by the young uns of the day.
Consequently we will be engaging in outreach work around Bakersfield, St Anns and Sneinton.
The project will engage the young people in the creation of a regular podcast, which will look at issues, subject and activities that they find interesting. The podcast will include reports, interviews and audio sketches.
We will be running a pilot over the next few months, working with the current group of young people on the project, which will expand as funding comes in into the New Year.
Watch this space for developments.

Hotohuse Theatre's Social Media
Hothouse has been playing around with it’s social media of late. This has been partly as a result of trying to distance ourselves from a few unsavoury people involved in running them, and partly because one of them though we were using them too much.
Anyroad, the up shot of this is, that if you want to keep in touch with our updates on our online magazine Oh My Nottz and what’s going on in Hothouse Land here are the link to where we post stuff:
