Orbit Theatre

In 2009 Orbit Theatre reached its 40th Anniversary, it has made an incredible mark on the cultural life of the Capital of Wales. Future historians will have to consider what was the appeal of and why it was more than just another amateur theatrical company.

Every new theatre group sets itself up with ambitious programmes but many fall by the way side due to lack of talent, enthusiasm and knowledge and enterprise. Luckily all this came together in The Royal Hotel in 1968 when a dedicated group of enthusiasts advertised a meeting in The South Wales Echo about the formation of a new society.

Since those days Orbit Theatre has continued to entertain those who attend their productions.
