About me
Thetford Players were established in the spring of 2010 and sought to fill the void left by the former Thetford Music and Drama Society and the Moonlighters theatre group in the town. The successful community play, "Citizen of the World", delivered as part of the Thomas Paine 200th anniversary celebrations in 2009, showed a real enthusiasm for drama in the town, both from budding thespians and an appreciative audience. This momentum was carried on with the hugely successful "Dad's Army Comes Home" production in June 2010. A number of the participants in these productions were then poised to carry the baton on with Thetford Players production of "Dick Whittington" in January 2011. How can you get involved? Thetford Players welcome input from all sections of the community and will seek to provide opportunities for all those wishing to be involved. So, whether you have been involved in theatre before, or just want to have a go at something different - why not get in touch? Even if you don't want to tread the boards there are many ways of helping out on a production including, front of house, costumes, lighting, sound, make-up, props, sets, backstage management, programme production, publicity, etc. Where do we Rehearse? Our rehearsal venue is The Terrapin, behind Fulmerston Family Church, Fulmerston Road, Thetford, Norfolk IP24 3LE. Rehearsal days are generally on Wednesday and Thursday evenings with some weekend days, depending on which production you are involved in - these are confirmed at auditions. Where can you come and see us? Most of our productions take place at the Carnegie Room, Cage Lane, Thetford, IP24 2DS. Of course, if you would just like to come along to see one of our productions, we welcome your support. In 2013 Thetford Players joined the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA), the official body for amateur theatre groups in the UK.
