About HAC

Get to know us.

The Horsham Arts Council is active in producing a high standard of musical theatre on an annual basis, as well as smaller comedy or drama productions. The volunteer group has a proud tradition of theatre for over 40 years.

In 2002 the Horsham Arts Council relocated to an expansive complex on Old Hamilton Road, Horsham. This building is an excellent facility, that is able to be used for storage, set building, as rehearsal venue and meetings.

Thousands of hours of volunteer time is given generously by members – producers, directors, musical directors, choreographers, cast, lighting crew… the list is endless, to provide audiences of Horsham and the surrounding areas, high quality entertainment in musical theatre, comedy and drama.
