About Us
Grinder Productions is a theatre company that dares to be different. Are we an amateur company or a professional company? We don't know, and we don't care. Sometimes we sell tickets, sometimes we don't (though we always welcome donations). We do all sorts of plays, and we've performed in all sorts of places, though our favourite space has to be the historic Ennotville Library. We are always looking for new people to join our company - no previous theatre knowledge or experience necessary!
