Spotlight Musical Theatre Group was formed in late 1993 by an initial group of five, their aim being to produce two high quality shows each year, for the enjoyment of the people of Beccles and the surrounding areas.

In 1994, the first show was born, 'Gigi' and there began our commitment and promise for the future. Since those humble beginnings we have grown in strength and number and now have a strong membership of all ages. Spotlight is now firmly established in the Waveney Valley, attracting people from far and wide to come and support our two productions each year.

Following the 2018 Annual General Meeting, it was unanimously agreed that Spotlight will diversify by staging the occasional “Non-Musical Play”. Our constitution and rules have been amended as such. This opens up further opportunities for the Group to expand its choice of future productions, to fill a gap in the local area.
