The Godalming Theatre Group (GTG) was the brainchild of the late Desmond Holt, from Godalming, who decided to put on a youth pantomime in the Wilfred Noyce Hall in 1964.
Founder member David Dray said there were more people in the audience than on stage, and he is both astounded and proud that GTG has grown into a group that puts on £25,000 productions in the near professional Ben Travers Theatre in the grounds of Charterhouse School, although it still rehearses in ‘the Wilfie’.
It produces three main productions a year – a musical, a play and a traditional Christmas panto. This variety appeals to members who can choose the genre they enjoy, or try a new challenge.

"At Guildford Fringe Theatre Company we believe that you don’t need all the bells and whistles that you sometimes get with West End and major Regional theatre productions.
As Peter Brook said in his book, The Empty Space, “A man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching him, and this is all that is needed for an act of theatre to be engaged.”
Brilliantly put and we are putting this into practise. We are gaining a reputation for producing top class professional theatre and events across Guildford. Our goal is make theatre more accessible by using venues such as The Back Room of The Star Inn. We have found an audience that would perhaps shy away from going to the ‘theatre’ but would happily sit and watch a show in the back of a pub where there is a more relaxed and less structured feel.
As well as theatre we also host monthly professional comedy clubs (Guildford Gag House andYou Must Be Stoking) and regular burlesque cabarets. Our aim is to continue to bring quirky events to our wonderful town and we would like to thank the Friends of the Fringe for their continued support and to all of our audience that keep coming along!"
