After a decade of making audiences smile, laugh, clap and sing along, The Cast of Stage Struck (TCOSS) are preparing for their final performance this September – and they are inviting the community to help them go out on a high.

Since their very first curtain rise in 2015, TCOSS have built a reputation for fun, feel-good shows packed with music, comedy, and sparkle. But behind the lights and laughter, the group has also worked tirelessly to support good causes, raising more than £12,000 for local and national charities over the years.

Beneficiaries of their fundraising include Alzheimer’s Society, Swindon Carers Centre (Young Carers), The Trussell Trust, CALM (Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Movement), TWIGS, Swindon 105.5, and IPSUM among others. From raffles to refreshment sales, the group has always ensured that every performance also made a difference beyond the stage. Something they are all proud of.

Now, as they prepare to close the curtain for the final time, the group hopes to fill the Swindon Arts Centre with familiar faces and new supporters for “Don’t Stop Believing – Our 10 Year Anniversary Show”.

Date: Saturday 20th September 2025
Times: 2:30pm & 7:00pm
Venue: Swindon Arts Centre
Tickets: £11.50 (includes £1.50 booking fee)
Box Office: 01793 535534

Co-directors Michelle and Grace said:

“When we started TCOSS, we wanted to share the joy of performing. Over the years we’ve had the privilege of doing that, while also raising money for causes that mean so much to us and our audiences. This last show is our way of saying thank you – to the charities we’ve supported, to our cast family, and most of all to the audiences who have kept us going for ten wonderful years.”

The farewell performance will feature a mix of brand-new routines, comedy sketches, and audience favourites from across the group’s history – a joyful send-off designed to leave the audience smiling, singing, and remembering the very best of TCOSS.

And now, after giving so much back to the community over the past decade, TCOSS are asking for one final favour in return:

If we’ve supported your charity, if you’ve enjoyed our shows, or if you simply love live theatre – please come and support us in our final curtain call. Let’s fill the theatre and go out with a bang!
