​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 will proudly host again 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.

Youth Participants 
Gala Float 7th July 2018  

Do you have a spare hour or two at all the week before Gala Day? We are always very short of helpers to assist with doing adhoc bits of craft/set making for our Gala Day float theme- more hands on deck, quicker the job is done! We are also very keen to recruit both Youths & a handful of Adults to be on the float itself- please get in touch with us if you can get involved in some way by contacting secretary@dibbletree.com or note your interest on this page in the message box- THANKYOU!

Auditions
​Annual Pantomime 2018

Panto is an incredibly fun and social time for CTC and being on stage as one of the supporting Chorus is a really good 1st step to take. We can now confirm that auditions will take place on June 24th down in Dibble Tree. Audition pieces are available NOW from the theatre Foyer.  We would LOVE to meet  you as a potential new member and part of the Cast- let us also know if you would like to get involved as  Backstage Crew!

JUNE 2017: PROJECT 'NEXT STAGE' BEGINS
The club was delighted to complete Phase 1 & 2 of Project Next Stage ahead of schedule in August 2017. A massive job, it also involved removing the old theatre seats which had originally been with a previous life inside the Regal Cinema, Broughty Ferry, Dundee. To read more about how our seat installers 'Evertaut' managed this, click  HERE Phase 3 has already been mapped out and we are currently raising funds to begin this in 2019.
