PUKKA Productions is an exciting drama group that formed late
in 2004 from roots in Porthkerry Road Methodist Church, a place well
known for its drama and music-making tradition.
Although the director, musical director and many members of the cast,
production team and band are actively involved in the life of the
Barry Circuit of Methodist Churches, the group has expanded and
attracted a lot of really excellent local talent from other sources.
PUKKA's debut was the acclaimed 'Jesus Christ Superstar', performed
during Easter 2005 at Barry Memorial Hall. Since then, performances
have included 'West Side Story', 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat', 'One Night Only' (an evening of song and dance from
popular West End shows), and 'Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story'. In
August 2007 a new venture, 'PUKKA Plays' was born, with a magical
production of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' performed at
the open-air amphitheatre at the Amelia Trust Farm. Just before
Christmas 2007, PUKKA had a real treat with their totally original
production of 'A Christmas Carol', an all-new version of the
traditional Christmas tale. With two Christmas shows, in 2008 and
2009, and a major show in 'Annie' during the summer of 2009, PUKKA
continued to be busy! Their last project was their five year
anniversary show, called FIVE, performed at the Paget Rooms in
Penarth during March 2010, and their next major show will be "The
Little Match Girl" at the Memorial Hall in late 2010.
PUKKA has grown from an initial idea of "branching out"
from their church buildings to reach a community of all faiths and of
no faith - a community which they aim to serve. With support from the
church and various charities and individuals, the seed has burst into life.
PUKKA is a community company. All profit generated from our shows is
donated to Barry charities and our input to the town was recognised
in 2006 with a 'Pride
in Barry' award. We are committed and hard working, yet
friendly and fun. If you would like to jump on board to provide
quality entertainment, make new friends and improve our town, give
Sarah a call!.
In 2005 the junior company, PUKKA Petites, was formed and regularly
performs its own shows as well as featuring in the main PUKKA Productions.
In 2008 a new section was needed to allow continuing development and
nurturing of the skills learned in the Petites. PUKKA Potential
Theatre School was created to meet this need, and in 2009 a more
advanced section, PUKKA Plus, was created to cater for children who
had progressed still further.
The dream of Pukka Productions has always been of a company working
in partnership with the local community, encouraging individuals to
fulfil their potential, and using our profits to support good causes.
With your support we can do even more!
As a community company, PUKKA are always on the lookout for new
talent - so if you want to join our talented cast, call Sarah for a
