The
Dedham Players
The Dedham Players are one of the leading local amateur theatre
groups drawing on the Colchester, North Essex and South Suffolk
regions. Since being founded in 1970 the Dedham Players have mounted
over 60 productions. These include our regular shows at the Assembly
Rooms in Dedham, normally in Spring and Autumn, and, roughly every 3
years, an open air production mounted in the marvellous setting of
Castle House in Dedham.
We are always happy to welcome new
members. Current members come from quite a wide catchment area
including Colchester, Wivenhoe, Brightlingsea, Lawford, Langham,
Manningtree, West Bergholt, Higham, Stratford St Mary and, of
course, Dedham itself. So whether you have been involved in amateur
theatre before, or just want to have at
go at something different - why not get in touch? There are many
ways of helping out on a production - from acting, costumes,
lighting, sound, directing, finding props, painting sets...and as a
member you can also enjoy occasional socials, from quizzes to mystery
walks, as well as the company of one of the friendliest amateur
dramatics groups in North Essex. Of course, if you would just like to
come along to see one of our productions, we would love to see you
there.
