The Dartmouth Players was formed in October 1929 by Cyril Maude, an ex professional light comedy actor/manager who had retired to Dartmouth after a stage career spanning 42 years. Over the next 82 years no less than 216 productions have entertained Dartmouth audiences in a number of different locations.
Our main current performance space is the Flavel Theatre, Dartmouth, although we occasionally perform elsewhere, such as local churches. We are a non profit making organisation with full visibility of our finances through AGM's and audited accounts, published to our members.
We have a costume/props store plus rehearsal space at the Flavel Church, Dartmouth. We aim to perform at least two main productions a year. Social events are occasionally organised throughout the year.
The Dartmouth Players is run by a management team. The chairman is currently Bill Hunt, Treasurer Sue Mckenzie and Secretary Christine Brooker. Members are: John Stephenson, John Sidders, Linda Churchill, Norman Cork, Peter Griffiths. Current writers/directors/musical directors: Bill Hunt, Norman Cork and Linda Churchill
We have a thriving membership of around 50 people of all ages. If you would like to join, please submit the enquiry form.
