A new website has been launched for people involved in amateur theatre either as participants or in the audience.

The free "one-stop" site has already attracted 800 of the UK's 20,000 amateur societies and others can send their details.

The site will feature show listings, news, area-by-area listings of performing groups, links to group's own websites, adverts, a fun-and-games page and theatrical services available to show organisers.
