The Kibworth Theatre Company is your local theatre group and a registered charity. We are a jolly gang of local people, who work hard with the talent we have, to bring great productions to the village. Once lockdown has been lifted finally, we will be working full tilt towards one of our next productions, ‘ The Vicar of Dibley’, which is due for performance next year. We’re also exploring other productions for the Christmas season. Watch this space for more information.
