Rummage Theatre are currently the resident Theatre Company at Weymouth College. We are in our second year of residency as part of the college's LEAP project. the LEAP (Local Emerging Artists Platform) project began in 2009. Its aim is to encourage alumni from the performing Arts department at Weymouth College to work on the premises as a company in residence, the vision being for the college to encourage great performers to stay and work in the Dorset area. Artists gain rehearsal and office space and equipment, mentoring and a public platform to test out new work, whilst current students are provided with the opportunity to engage with industry as part of their learning, giving them the opportunity to witness fresh new professional Theatre whilst it is being made. This model allows companies to work onsite before taking their new work to Edinburgh in the Summer and then embarking upon a tour.
