Based in south-east London, we specialise in performing the comic operas of Gilbert & Sullivan. Our productions combine high musical standards with energetic and creative staging – and we have lots of fun! The look of our shows has varied from the traditional to the unconventional (including a Dad’s Army-inspired version of The Sorcerer, and The Gondoliers transposed to Italy and Spain in the 1930s), and we’ve given the world premieres of new adaptations of Utopia (Limited) and The Grand Duke – as well as the first UK production in more than a century of the early Gilbert-without-Sullivan musical No Cards in a double bill with The Pirates of Penzance. We typically mount a fully staged production of a G&S opera, with full orchestra, for one week every year (five performances, including a Saturday matinee). We also present concerts featuring choruses, solos and ensembles in a variety of musical styles; these events raise funds for our main productions and for charities. In most years we run a scratch ‘G&S opera in a day’ concert performance, which attract G&S lovers from far and wide.
New Eltham The Centre, New Eltham Methodist Church, 435 Footscray Road, New Eltham, London SE9 3UL
Box Office 01322 613128 Contact info@thecommunityplayers.co.uk Initially founded under the banner of "The Methodist Players" in 1963, the group changed its name some time later to "The Community Players" as it was felt that "The Methodist Players" might restrict some individuals from joining. We have remained "The Community Players" ever since. The Group originally comprised some dozen or so enthusiastic thespians and our premier production, in 1964, was "Here We Come Gathering", chosen simply because we could cast it and the set was minimalist (an empty cottage). One enduring memory of this production was when, at one point, a tramp is frying bacon on-stage - whilst we had the effects person frying REAL bacon off-stage and wafting the aroma into the audience. This worked perfectly - except that the aroma reached the audience half an hour AFTER the bacon-frying scene. When the audience were on their way out in fact! We went up-market and ambitious for our second production, "The Diary of Anne Frank" and went overboard with the set - having four rooms on-stage all visible at the same time. Since these early beginnings, we have presented a wide variety of plays from farce to the classics and have tried to cater for every taste. The Group has a faithful group of Patrons (approximately 50 in all) who support us for all our productions and social activities (Quiz Nights, Murder Mystery evenings etc.). From a very small Church Hall seating about 80 at a time, we have progressed to a Community Centre in the heart of New Eltham, London, SE9 where a "full house" (some 220 people) is frequently achieved. After 43 years, we look forward to reaching our half-century with many more exciting productions. The Community Players welcome newcomers, with or without experience! We meet at The Methodist Centre, Footscray Road, New Eltham every Tuesday, and some Fridays, from 8pm to 10pm. We have a great time! Why not come along and meet us or send us an email to find out more. We look forward to meeting you!

We have performed in various halls and theatres in both Hackney and other boroughs, but our principal home for many years the years was Summit Estate Hall in Stamford Hill where we had meetings, stored costumes and scenery, rehearsed and performed the majority of our productions over the years.

We are now in out third year at Morland and after producing our first pantomime last December we feel we are at home!

The MTA is unique. We offer the UK’s first, fast track programme that is focused on getting you industry-ready in 2 years, rather than the traditional 3 years. Entry to The MTA is by audition – no qualifications are necessary other than an overwhelming desire to work as a performer. Whilst we specialise in Musical Theatre, our ambassadors are equally at home on the screen and in straight plays (both contemporary and classical). If you have a dream, the ambition and the drive, then The MTA is for you, because everyone here feels the same way. There are no career teachers at The MTA, only working professionals who want to teach the next generation of performers. They can, and as you can see from our stats do, give you the skills to realise your potential. Contact: info@themta.co.uk Skype: TheMTAonline

We are there from 7.30pm and finish the evening in the pub next door for a beer or three! Anyone who thinks they can sing and/or act is very welcome to join us. We also welcome anyone interested in the production/technical side of putting on an amateur show. If you can wield a paintbrush, sew a costume or hammer a nail, come and see us. We try to put on a major show every year which may be a G&S operetta, something from the Edwardian period, a popular musical or, indeed, anything! We have even performed a major piece of musical drama written by one of our own members. One of the songs from this show (Rosie) became a Eurovision entry In addition to the major show we tend to put on small shows and concerts throughout the year involving more or less of our members. These are usually seasonal (Easter, Christmas, etc.). Weekends away when we perform out of London, taking over some unsuspecting rural community, are also a regular feature. We team-up with an American light-opera group from New York every few years to present a joint production, either in New York or London. For more information about this please click on the B.A.L.O.E. button above.
For sixty years, the Players of St Peter have been performing English medieval drama in London, and are, we believe, unique in offering annual productions from the main English mystery cycles. At the end of November each year we perform a selection of plays from one of the four most complete cycles (York, Chester, Wakefield and "N-Towne" - also known as "The Plaie called Corpus Christi"). Our productions take the Bible story as far as the Nativity, presenting a selection of self-contained scenes within the hour-and-a-half duration of each performance. BoxOffice@posp.org.uk
