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.

Get ready for an unmissable night of non-stop laughter and heart! Bartholomew Players are thrilled to present Neil Simon’s timeless, high-stakes comedy, Plaza Suite.
“Neil Simon captured the brilliant, chaotic reality of human relationships like no other,” says BAFTA award-winning Director / writer Laurence Marks. “This show is fast, funny, and deeply relatable.”
Set inside Room 719 of Manhattan’s famed Plaza Hotel, this wildly entertaining production takes audiences on a hilarious ride through three distinct acts of love, marriage, and utter mayhem. From a long-married couple attempting to rekindle their faded romance, to a smooth-talking Hollywood producer revisiting his high school sweetheart, to panicked parents trying to reason with a bride locked in the bathroom on her wedding day – Plaza Suite delivers razor-sharp New York wit and unforgettable physical comedy.
