Our 2022/2023 production was the cooky, crazy, Addams Family musical! We enjoyed showcasing the society as one big family as that’s what we really are! With reviews commenting on our “brilliant” casting and “amazing” costumes, we were so proud of what we achieved with this show.
A highlight from the performance week was when the fire alarm led to the whole building evacuating - resulting in some fabulous cast photos outside the theatre!

Our 2021/2022 production was the long awaited Made in Dagenham. After initial auditions and casting pre-Covid we were delighted to finally bring this firecracker show to the stage. We were even more delighted for our 3 nominations (NODA Best Show Award) and 1 won award (BDTG's Crossed Keys Rosebowl award for Best Ensemble)
wHO ARE WE?
What began as a youth fellowship group in 1948, rehearsing and performing plays in a post World War II Birmingham, has grown year on year.
After only performing Gilbert and Sullivan shows for a decade, the group adopted the name Queensbridge and branched out to other works and styles of performance.
In 1973 the society moved from the Queensbridge School Hall to the Old Rep Theatre in Birmingham City Centre. With shows ranging from The Card to Grand Duchess winning local awards, growing its community.
After our final show at the Old Rep, Charlie Girl in 1994, the society moved to its current performance space: The Core Theatre, Solihull. Since then, we have performed shows such as Oklahoma, Sister Act, Oliver, and Little Shop of Horrors.
The society has survived through thick, thin, and a global pandemic to put on shows for its ever supportive audience. With children as young as 5 and adults as old as 80 singing, dancing and entertaining, QMTS welcomes friends from every walk of life to join our strong community.
Currently, we perform one musical and one concert per year. We aim to bring a variety of shows to life including classic 'Golden Age' musicals as well as more modern styles.
