About Us

Northumbria Musical Theatre Society was founded in 2008, making this the 18th year of NMTS! Every year, we put on a variety of shows, including a winter gala comprising of various musical theatre songs, a charity fundraiser where our talented members select songs they want to perform, as well as a big musical in the spring, to name a few! Previously, the society has performed musicals such as Footloose, Into the Woods, High School Musical, Carrie, Legally Blonde, Grease, and most recently, Rock of Ages in 2026! The society is run entirely by a student-led committee, who volunteer their time alongside their studies.

Grace Robinson (President), Isabelle Tennant (Vice-President), Amy Bullen (Secretary)
