About

Showtime Singers was formed when Aberystwyth music teacher Hazel Holt decided that the choir she was leading in the 1980s was capable of putting on a musical theatre production.  She was so committed to the idea that in 1984 she funded the first show herself and Showtime Singers was born!

The first show was Oklahoma! which was performed in the Theatr y Werin with locals Elinor Powell and Barry Jones taking the lead roles of ‘Laurie’ and ‘Curly’ and it was a huge success with 90% of the seats being sold for the four performances.  This was followed with South Pacific in December 1985 and since then Showtime Singers has been putting on a major show every year.

The group now has a committee of 8 members; we are completely inclusive having members from the town and the University ranging in age from 8 to 83 years old. For legal reasons we do not accept children whose parents are not in the current production.

In December 2007 we were nominated for an Aberystwyth Firsts Award in the category 'Social Enterprise.'
