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 91 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 the Guild members. There are no paid staff in the Theatre.

The plays are open to the public but taking out membership of the Guild brings entitlement to priority ticket booking at half price. For those who wish to become actively involved there are jobs for all interests and age groups. Please register your interest in joining by sending for a membership form now
