The Country Players

 
 

The Country Players were formed over 30 years ago in November 1977 and since then we have usually presented three productions each year -  plays,  pantomimes and occasionally revues and old time musicals. We currently have about thirty full members plus helpers.

Most productions are held at Wootton Village Hall, Church Road, Wootton, near Bedford; we have also presented productions at The Place theatre in Bedford. Rehearsals are held in Wootton most Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm.


Occasionally we have workshops where you can learn about theatre skills.


We have also entered plays into the Bedfordshire Drama Association's One-Act Play Festival and over the years we have received numerous awards. Find out what other groups in Bedfordshire are presenting on the BDA web site or on the National Operatic and Dramatic Association’s NODA regional site.

If you are interested in joining us, either on-stage or backstage, please contact us by e-mail on this address:


We’re looking for a lighting technician/operator at the moment, for our (rather meagre) lighting at the Village Hall, but also to help us with productions at The Place and elsewhere.


We also run a “patronage” scheme which includes free tickets for all our productions.

Our next production is “Daisy Pulls if Off” by Denise Dreegan, at The Place on Wednesday September 22nd to Saturday September 25th (all at 7:30pm). Tickets are available online at The Place Tickets or from Bedford Box Office on 01234 269519.
