WELCOME TO THE CIRCLE PLAYERS WEB SITE

The Circle Players is a non-professional drama group, performing three plays a year.

Our rehearsals are held at Great Barr Methodist Church, on Tuesday evenings, between 8.00pm and 10.30 pm. For those not directly involved with any current production, we hold workshops, from time to time, and we are always ready to welcome prospective new members to our informal, friendly group.

If you don’t feel comfortable getting up on stage, there is always plenty to do backstage and front of house. Be warned, however, even our most unwilling actors have been known to tread the boards once bitten by the bug.

We perform our plays at Aldridge_Youth_Theatre, a purpose built little theatre in Aldridge.

Fancy joining us? Please contact Helen on info@thecircleplayers.org.
