My name is Charlotte and I have recently moved to Dubai. When living in the UK I took part in numerous amateur musical theatre productions. I’m really eager to get involved in musical productions again now that I’m in Dubai. I have searched for amateur companies who put on musicals but I can’t seem to find any.

I would be very grateful if you could let me know of any forthcoming shows or amateur groups.

There are a couple of companies that put on shows in Dubai and are always looking for cast members.  These include Popular Productions (combination of professional and amateur – shows such as Wizard of Oz) and Ductac (put on shows like ‘Cats’).  Visiting theatre companies also visit Dubai and put on shows and put a call out for extra cast members.  Sometimes this is just for children and sometimes for adults too.  Watch the press for more details of shows coming to Dubai.  There are other amateur drama groups that do not do musicals but you may also be interested in them – Dubai Drama Group & Backstage.
