Frequently Asked Questions
How long does my membership last?
Your membership runs from August to July – we call it our “season.” Think of it like a Netflix subscription but with more glitter and less binge-watching. Most folks join at the start of the season and stick with us through all the fun and chaos of at least two productions and several cabaret nights.
How much does it cost to join?
Membership costs £15 for the season, which gives you a whole year of Butter Side Up magic. There’s also a small show fee (£5-15) for any production you’re involved in – you know, to help cover costumes, props, and snacks (priorities, right?).
If you’re joining towards the end of the season, we might knock a bit off the price – because we’re nice like that. Just chat with us for the details!
What do I get as a member?
Oh, loads! You’ll be part of all our projects for the season, whether you fancy treading the boards, helping backstage, or just soaking up the vibes. Plus:
-
Exclusive Discord access: Early audition info, project sneak peeks, and more.
-
Discounts: Snag deals at local Sheffield spots just for being part of the Butter Side Up gang.
-
The feels: Yep, being part of our community is a benefit in itself. We’re all about fun, friendship, and fabulous theatre.
Do you have membership rules?
We do, but don’t worry – they’re more common sense than scary. Basically, it all boils down to this: don’t be a dick. Be kind, respectful, and bring your best vibes to rehearsals and shows. For the nitty-gritty, check out our full list of standards here.
Do you actually eat the end piece of bread?
Then you're the kind of person who might actually enjoy reading our governing documents. As a not-for-profit community organisation, we've outlined the legal make up of the theatre group, as well as details about finances, membership and more.
If that's your kind of thing, feel free to take a look!
