Welcome to the home of Steel Valley Beacon Arts on the Internet 

Steel Valley Beacon Arts employs professional artists to direct and support an amateur community company of all ages. Our artistic director is Ian Enters. He has worked with Steel Valley Beacon Arts (SVBA) over several years to develop its drama, community and educational programme.  He has directed the company in many inspirationally successful productions, including Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet, Bertolt Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle and our own productions Old King Coal and Here Be Dragons.  He also brought the professional production of his opera, Avalon, to Yorkshire - for which Steel Valley Beacon Arts provided front of house and other support. 

The company was formed in 2000 to put on a one-off performance of Rob Frost's Hopes and Dreams as part of the Millennium celebrations. We enjoyed the experience so much that we've come together each year since then to put on an annual production. We celebrated our tenth anniversary in 2010 with our very own home grown musical extravaganza Here Be Dragons which was performed to wonderfully appreciative audiences in South and West Yorkshire in November 2010 and January/February 2011.  We followed this with A Night of Comedy in September/October 2011, and are currently in rehearsals for a production of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (see opposite).

Although based in the Stocksbridge area of Sheffield, the company is open to anyone prepared to commit their time and new members are welcomed with open arms.  COME AND JOIN US!!!
