HELLO!

Where have you found yourself?

This is the site of Nuneaton's Abbey Players.

We are an amateur group that was formed in 1987 with the explicit aim of staging productions at The Abbey Theatre and Arts Centre, Nuneaton.

Since then, a pantomime has been staged annually at Christmas, and in recent years we have also been staging mid-year Variety shows.

In between this, we also enter local drama festivals, and have won several awards in the All England Theatre Festival.

The majority of members are aged under 21 - but we're always on the look out for new members (especially more 'mature' ones).

Do you fancy being on stage, or working behind the scenes?

If you have a good sense of humour, but also have the discipline to make a commitment to being involved in shows staged to fee-paying audiences, and want to join us, please use the Contact Us link on this page.

We look forward to hearing from you!! (if only to buy a ticket!)

LATEST NEWS.

The 2009 Drama Festival Season is underway and we have already enjoyed success at the Tamworth Hastilow Festival where our entry 'Vision Impaired' by Richard James, was selected to go forward and represent Warwickshire in the next round of the All England Theatre Festival.

We will then have two entries in the Nuneaton Festival of Arts, both original scripts penned by our own playright Carol Spencer.

'Wedding Nerves' follows the preparation of a young bride on her weding day, when everything that can go wrong, does go wrong!

'Who's For Pizza' tells the story of nuisance phone calls being made to a group of calls enjoying a girl's night in.

All of these plays, along with 'Gloria's Angel' by Alistair Faulkner, will be showcased at the Bedworth Arts Centre on Friday 5th June - watch this space for booking details.
