For over 50 years, The Alexandra Players have been bringing people together
through the magic of live theatre.
Here’s our storv so far…
🌱 THE BEGINNING
About 70 years ago, the Bramshot Avenue Congregational Church (now the URC) held a concert and the Friendship Club performed a one-act play called Tea-Time Tempest. Later the club put on an evening of its own with two plays, and from these small beginnings, The Alexandra Players were formed.
🎭 GROWTH & PRODUCTIONS
In the record of productions since 1966, we note that over 100 different plays have been performed. In all that time, only three have been repeated – Blithe Spirit (1975 and 2003), Absurd Person Singular (1979 and 2009) and Play On! (1988 and 2011).
⭐ OUR MISSION
The Alexandra Players aim to bring live theatre of the highest possible quality to the local area, with a mixture of drama and comedy which is sometimes amusing, sometimes frightening, often thought provoking, but always, we hope, entertaining.
🎬 A PROUD MOMENT
In 2013 we were honoured to be selected by the Royal Shakespeare Company to be part of their Open Stages Programme, the UK’s biggest amateur theatre project.
