The Northcott Theatre Choir
The Northcott Theatre Choir is a no-audition choir for adults who like to sing, socialise and have fun! Each term, the music will be inspired by the Northcott’s shows and productions – ranging from classic musical theatre and show tunes to moving sea shanties inspired by our South West roots. Rehearsals will take place weekly at the Cygnet Theatre and the choir will become an exciting part of the Northcott family, performing regularly in our venues and at theatre events. You don’t need to be able to read sheet music. Whether you are a seasoned soprano or looking to return to a long-forgotten hobby, we want you to be a part of the Exeter Northcott Theatre Choir.

The Northcott People’s Company
Each term the Northcott People’s Company will explore drama techniques, practitioners, plays and characters, often working towards scenes or shows to share with an audience.
Participants will also have unique access to Northcott shows, ticket deals and more, and will be invited each year to audition for a Northcott main stage show with a community cast, which in 2024 was the hugely successful The Commotion Time (pictured).
