There is always something happening at the Playhouse - and not only for actors and actresses: they are always in need of help with set-building, lighting, sound, costumes, front of house duties and assistance at the bar. The Milnerton Playhouse stages major productions several times a year, and hosts visiting performers or other societies from time to time. There are regular Social Evenings, normally on the first Friday of every month. These are an ideal opportunity for aspirant actors, actresses and directors to take part in play readings and other entertainments.

Members of their friendly, vibrant society receive a regular newsletter with news, chat, and information on activities. Membership fees are (May 2006) R78 a year or R39 a year for students and senior citizens (plus a once-off R20 joining fee). The fees are pro-rated through the membership year. Most of the members are active participants, but others join just as social members.
