Next Production
School of Rock the Musical
Based on the hilarious hit movie starring Jack Black, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning smash hit School of Rock comes to Boroughbridge in June 2025!
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme…You better get me to school on time! Follow Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band! But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?
An amateur production by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Ltd.
Based on the Paramount movie written by Mike White.
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Book by Julian Fellowes, Lyrics by Glenn Slater.

A Little Bit About Us
About Us
The Hightimers were founded in 1985 by a group of people who still play a part within the group till this day. The name comes from the group’s connection to Boroughbridge High School where the group first started to perform shows, however, after performing in a number of locations, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Hightimers have finally settled and perform from the Coronation Hall in Boroughbridge, Milby which is owned by the Parish Church and the hall hosts other events when The Hightimers are not performing.
The Society has strong connections with the community. As we are a self-funding organisation some of the profits from shows and events go toward donations to local charities and organisations, supporting their goals for the district. The Hightimers are supported by local businesses which is vital as production aspirations grow.
For over 35 years, The Hightimers have brought laughter, suspense, and entertainment to audiences of all ages. So, come along, let go of the real world, and enter the magic of the theatre with The Hightimers!
What We Do
All Members of the Society are involved in all aspects of theatre production, from script writing to front-of-house, set design to choreography, musical arrangement to lighting design, and of course, performing. Anyone in the Boroughbridge & District area is invited to join, contribute, and learn in any role within the Society.
With a strong focus on the social side, The Hightimers encourage teamwork and discipline. From pre-production, through rehearsals, performances, and the final breaking of set, the Society is a place to have fun and work hard, all to bring together the finest of shows.
