HAPPY BIRTHDAY & THANKYOU TO ALL OF OUR CLUB MEMBERS & SUPPORTERS
​
​Carnoustie Theatre Club, founded June 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.

​
We are so very sad to announce the passing of Betty Gibson on Thursday 11th April. Betty, one of the founder members of Carnoustie Theatre Club, was a talented Producer and Director and over the many years of her involvement, also appeared on stage in various acting parts.

Betty's community spirited approach engaged with and encouraged all members young and old to participate in all aspects of theatre - the endless amount of mentoring, organising and help Betty put into our club is beyond words.

It is with a very heavy heart that we say goodbye to you Betty, you will be sorely missed XXXXXX
