​Carnoustie Theatre Club, founded 1969, is an amateur dramatics club based within the coastal town, which sits on the Northeast shore of the Firth of Tay in the county of Angus, Scotland. With a population of around 11,500, the town is notably famous for its championship golf course, welcoming many celebrities and professional golfers yearly for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and Open Championship which the town proudly hosted in July 2018.

In the beginning, the club started with only about a dozen 'enthusiasts'...fast forward and today it is a thriving community based organisation with a supportive membership of over 100. The heart and soul of everything we do is based within our wonderfully 'couthy' wee theatre named The Dibble Tree. Why did we call it 'dibble'  and why is that name linked with Carnoustie? Click HERE to find out why and take a look around our website to learn more about our wonderful CTC.

Gala Float 7th July 2018  

We are DELIGHTED to share that having participated in this event, it seems our 'float' design and presentation on the day was the most creative and we won!! HUGE THANKYOU to everyone involved; those that generated and shared ideas, attended meetings, sourced out clothing, constructed and bought materials and of course...to those that took the time to actually be on the float for the parade- AWESOME!

Congratulations!
​Annual Pantomime 2018

Panto is an incredibly fun and social time for CTC and being on stage as one of the supporting Chorus or tackling a Principal role is a wonderful introduction to Amateur theatre. We had overwhelming interest in this years production and would like to congratulate all cast, new and current members alike. Interested in helping out in any other role ? # get involved
