Our aims...
Scaplen's Community Players is a local, historical theatre group that focuses on storytelling, drama and music. Our mission is to bring together local people from diverse communities to better understand our local history and shared culture.
Our main aim is to have fun doing the things we enjoy. As well as being involved in rehearsals and performances we also offer the opportunity take part in our activities. We aim to provide equality of opportunity for our members and wider communities to learn new skills or enhance existing skills in all aspects of theatrical productions, through the provision of workshops, informative talks, play, readings and demonstrations.
What's coming up:- ​
After the success of our Street Theatre play, 'The Lover's and The Thief ' for the Seafood and Sounds Festival we now have a programme of exciting Workshops.
October 12th - John Billington - What you Say / Who are You Looking At?
John is an extremely experienced Drama lecturer, actor and director and will be a great opportunity to learn and develop new skills.
October 26th - Bob Rankin – Fun play reading. Plenty of parts for everyone. There will be an opportunity to try out different accents and performance styles
November 2nd - Chris Roberts – Mystery Improvisation
