ACT Affiliated Drama Societies

CANTERBURY PLAYERS Amateur Dramatic Society Urmston, Greater Manchester, UK. About Canterbury Players We're a mixed age group and always welcome new members, whether onstage or helping with the many activities needed to stage a show. Don't worry if you don't know what's involved; we'll give you training and support! It's a great way to get out of the house, learn new skills, and meet new friends. Join us and be part of our next production! lir Canterbury Players started out as a parent-teacher group in 1949, presenting plays on stage in the hall at Canterbury Road Junior School in Davyhulme, and occasionally at other locations in the area for events such as play readings. Since March 2007 our home has been the stage at the Methodist Church Hall on Brook Road, Flixton, where we have presented comedies, dramas, farces, thrillers and murder mysteries. We have very much enjoyed our time there, presenting award winning shows, social evenings and rehearsing. Sadly, in Summer 2021 the Church closed! We now have all our assets stored at Urmston Musical Theatre’s home at Pennybridge and we thank them very much for their hospitality. We will continue to hold play readings and other events in the area and will be presenting plays and ‘Theatre Suppers’ at Urmston Sports Club. These have always been a huge success! There will be a new set of portable staging there, donated by the Leigh Trust for the use of our society and the Club. We look forward to using it!
