Just turn up to audition. If you get cast then you're in! If not then your details will be kept on our mailing list records and we will contact you when the next auditions come around. KDC is committed to being open to all, so it costs nothing to audition and every season new faces end up taking leading roles. There's no precasting or hanging around trying to get known. To use a fabulous Hi-Di-Hi analogy: one minute you're Peggy, next minute you're a Yellowcoat!

See our front page.

It costs nothing to audition or be on our mailing list. If you get cast for a play then you pay a subscription for that season. Currently this stands at 70 or 35 for concessions. Techies and other non-luvvie roles get to come play for free, and lavished with free pints from grateful cast every night.

A wide range! We aren't out to promote a particular genre or writer. Nor do we tell directors what plays they must do. Instead we ask directors for the shows they would like to perform and from these suggestions we choose a season. Recently we have done plays by Shakespeare, Euripdes, Lorca, Jarry, Dylan Thomas, Caryl Churchill and Timberlake Wertenbaker.

We don't have our own theatre so we perform in a range of fringe venues such as the Tabard Theatre, the Barons Court Theatre and the Diorama Arts Centre. There is more information in the See the directing section.

On Mondays and Wednesdays we reherse at the Diorama Centre from 7-9:30pm. Then on Sunday we reherse at the Hoop & Toy pub in South Kensington. We have 2 slots there, from 12 till 4 or from 4 till 8.

Absolutely not. All too few of our actors and directors are independently wealthy and able to lounge around during the day. For the rest of us - ain't nothing going on but the rent! So we rehearse in the evenings and at weekends and we are always tolerant of work commitments.

Yeah - nice one! You're serious? Well then to be brutally frank, nothing at all. There is no profit share. Our aim is to break even and any profits go back to KDC for future use. But on the other hand can you put a price on a wonderful experience and making new friends? When you've got friends and neighbours you're the richest man in town!

If you have always fancied messing around with lights, designing set or costumes, stage managing, buying rounds or you're just willing to lend a hand in general then please get in touch!

I am, baby!
