NEW MEMBERS
We welcome new members! Ever fancied being someone else? Well, acting is a great way of taking on a new persona. If you've never experienced the buzz of pulling off a dazzling performance and getting acclaim from an appreciative audience, we can give you that opportunity. We like to involve new members as soon as we can, even if that means only a small part at first. If you would rather work behind the scenes, there are plenty of roles for you to make your mark, including set-building and decorating, sound and lighting, props, costumes, make-up, prompt, publicity, front-of-house, refreshments as well as producer, stage manager and director.
We put on two productions a year - in May and November - and occasionally enter drama festivals too. Usually we discuss and select the next play as soon as we can after finishing the last one. After casting, we rehearse on Wednesday evenings for about 3 months, with Mondays added for about 2 months. For the two weekends before performance evenings (usually Wednesday through to Saturday) it's all hands on deck to help build the set, dress and paint it, then do a technical rehearsal.

ABOUT US
Bartholomew Players has a long heritage, having originally used Bartholomew School in Eynsham as a venue over 30 years ago. In recent years the group has been based at the lovely modern village hall. We are a small group of enthusiasts, drawn from Eynsham and surrounding villages, who delight in putting on a good show for the local community. Having said that, one of our long-standing members doesn't let the fact that he lives in Sweden most of the time put him off performing regularly with us.
Equally our reputation is such that we attract an audience from beyond the local area. Reactions like "It was the funniest thing we've ever seen" do give us a nice warm feeling about what we do.
We like to perform a good range of plays, from comedies to thrillers. We tend to leave musicals and pantomimes to others.
​
Our members include young and old.
We hope you'll come to one of our productions and we'd be delighted to have you join the group.
