Honiton Community Theatre Company

The hit musical comedy ‘Sister Act’ is coming to Honiton this summer. Get ready for a divine dose of laughter, love, and a whole lot of groove!

When disco-diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime, she is thrust into hiding in the most unexpected place - a convent!

Disguised as nun, Deloris finds herself at odds with the strict Mother Superior, but soon discovers the power of sisterhood, igniting the once lacklustre choir with her soulful rhythm and infectious energy!

Packed with irresistible tunes, hilarious antics, and a heartwarming message of redemption, ‘Sister Act’ will leave the audiences uplifted and inspired.

The Middleweight Theatre Company Presents 'Whats Next?'

" Fresh from the resounding success of its critically acclaimed 2023 UK tour, Middle-Weight Theatre proudly presents: What’s Next?

" The true story you’ve never heard about… 

'What’s Next?' is Middle-Weight Theatre's electrifying new one-woman show which shines a light on the remarkable life of Harriet Quimby, a trailblazing figure in aviation who defied societal norms by becoming the first woman to earn a pilot’s license in the United States and conquer the skies solo to become the first female pilot to cross the English Channel.
