ABOUT THE GUILD OF PLAYERS

The Guild of Players was founded as an amateur dramatic company in 1913. It has put on a season of plays for all but six of the 86 years since then. There were no productions between 1915 and 1919, and none in 1944.

Nowadays the Guild puts on a season of five plays (each running for a week) and a pantomime (running for a fortnight) every year. Every job, from directing the plays to serving the coffee in the intervals, is undertaken voluntarily by Guild members.

Membership is open to everyone and brings entitlement to priority ticket booking at half price, for those who wish to support the Theatre as members of the audience. For those who wish to become actively involved there are jobs for all interests and age groups. Please join, using the application form. Print off and post to the Box Office.

THE JUNIOR GROUP

The Junior group is for young peopleaged 8 - 14. Membership gives them the opportunity to attend weekly theatre workshops on Saturday mornings, and to take part in the pantomime and other occasional productions.
