St Faith’s Players, Brentford’s local friendly drama group, started performing in 1977 with a concert to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Since then hundreds of people have taken to the boards, built sets, painted scenery and sewed costumes to keep the shows coming, with our annual pantomime particularly attracting a large local and loyal following. At the moment, we currently put on at least two productions each year, ranging from drama to comedy, thriller to Music Hall – all interspersed with a variety of social activities and fund raising events and we are planning to introduce a children’s production/workshop in the summer of 2019. We always welcome new members (from the age of 5 upwards) and offer many different opportunities to get involved with our latest production or event. For example, if you don’t fancy acting, why don’t you help backstage? There are numerous opportunities to join in with make-up, costumes, scenery, lighting, sound, stage managing and props. No experience is necessary. We would love to hear from you if you want to get involved.
