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!)
The Abbey Players annually stage a variety show in aid of charities.
When the group met to discuss and decide which charity to support in 2010, “Help for Heroes” was the unanimous decision. Many members of the group have relatives and friends who are serving , or who have served, with the armed forces, and it was felt that supporting the charity was the best way to acknowledge and show appreciation for the hard work and difficult job that is carried out.
Each performance will be opened with “Reveille” played by Richard Stamp a former bugler in the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
Promising an evening packed full of song, dance, drama, and comedy, “Variety for Heroes” will be staged at the Abbey Theatre and Arts Centre, Nuneaton, on 25th and 26th June at 7.30 pm.
There will be raffles run on each evening and the Abbey Players are looking for businesses and individuals to provide prizes.
If all seats are sold for the event, then the group aims to raise over £1500 for the charity.
Anyone wishing to provide raffle prizes, or to book tickets priced at £5, can contact the Players on 024 7637 2325.
