Our History
The Stage Company Meltham Has a Long and Successful History :
The Stage Company Meltham can trace its roots back to 1949 when in its previous incarnation as Slaithwaite Methodist Church A.O.S the first production was the Mikao. The society continued in this format producing operettas, concert versions and pantomimes until 2002. The operatic Society folded after ‘Call Me Madam’ and was reformed as Slaithwaite Stage Company, producing plays, pantomimes, murder mysteries and musicals in the village of Slaithwaite. The group moved to Meltham in 2013 and was renamed The Stage Company.
