The amateur theatrical company started life as Tip Top Musicals in 1989 in partnership with Grove Park Little Theatre in Wrexham.
The group went from strength to strength and the company's first full scale musical, Annie was staged at Chester's Gateway Theatre in July 1992 followed by La Cage Aux Folles.
Tip Top kept up a close relationship with the Gateway Theatre with a production every summer and in 2002 chose the theatre's Manweb Studio to present Mary O'Malley's Once A Catholic.
In March 2007 The Gateway Theatre was closed to make way for the new performing arts centre as part of the Northgate Development and Tip Top's last production on the main stage was Hello Dolly!.
Within months it became obvious that the new development was not going to go ahead as planned and Tip Top approached Chester City Council to negotiate a lease that would allow them to perform in the basement studio theatre.
