Our shows

The Carlton Dramatic Society has two main venues - Wimbledon Studio Theatre and The Colourhouse Theatre, Merton Abbey Mills. We perform our workshop event and rehearsed readings at Wimbledon Community Centre, where we rehearse (see below). From time to time we also perform in other places, such as local libraries and at local festivals and arts events, locations of which will be posted as event occur.
