We're Reading Rep, and we're the Ding's leading producing theatre.

We started with just £500 and an idea, and now we're a brick-and-mortar powerhouse producing reimagined classics, West End–quality musicals, fresh new writing, innovative adaptations and - of course - Teddy Bear Story Time.

Support local theatre. Tell your friends. Tell your family. And thank you to everyone who's been on this journey with us <3

Okay this is an easy one. Guess what show this is in our new season and win a family ticket to go and see it!

#rdguk #theatre

Teechers is coming - a funny, fast moving, hard hitting account of life at Whitewall Academy as they play staff, students and site premises managers, including the new drama teacher Miss Nixon who has helped get them into drama and changed their lives.

But as Salty, Gail and Hobby conclude their performance and leave state education, it appears that Miss Nixon is moving on too… to the local private school.

It's on here 2-13 June.

Seriously, it fills up quickly - and this year we're launching West End Experience Juniors for 5-10 year olds as well as 11-16 year olds!

Learn in an inspiring atmosphere, perform hit songs, choreograph dances, get top tips from industry professionals and end the week singing and dancing in their own West End Musical showcase.

Both Juniors and Seniors run between 27-31 July 2026 - find out more on our website :)

How fat was your tie at school?

Originally written in 1987 and now revamped for a post-Covid world, Teechers holds as much relevance today as the day it was written. Full of Godber’s notorious wit and razor-sharp social observations, Teechers places the education system under the microscope to expose the pressures of adolescence against the backdrop of a struggling institution.

So who's in Teechers then? It's an incredible cast of just three playing multiple people, but in their primary roles are @sophie.sudds as Hobby, @jopatmore as Gail and Levi Payne as Salty!

"The talent the these three have is incredible, taking us on this journey with them, changing characters at speed to keep the story flowing, moving set pieces during scenes or with a choreographed piece of dancing to make the scene changes a little more exciting." North West End

This classic has been updated by John Godber post-Covid, reflecting the even lower value the education system places on drama in schools.

It's on 2-13 June!
