A drama group based in Kingswood, Bristol, producing 2-3 drama productions a year, including plays and murder mysteries for over 50 years.

We are an award-winning drama group based in Kingswood, Bristol. We usually produce two drama productions a year, including a Pantomime around Christmas and a play in the spring/summer. We also put on ad-hoc productions such as Murder Mystery evenings at various times in the year. The Woodland Players was founded in 1976 and we have been performing plays and pantomimes ever since. We are affiliated to Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Kingswood, Bristol and perform our plays at Our Lady of Lourdes School. We have put on over 75 different performances ranging from small, quirky plays to large pantomime extravaganzas and everything in between. We welcome members from the age of 12 onwards and meet every week for rehearsals. Everyone is welcome to join at any time, there’s always plenty to do whether it’s acting, building or painting scenery, costumes or being an hidden star backstage! Whatever your talent is, we’re sure you can use it here.

We have chosen a play.
We have the script.
We have the dates
We have the license.
Rehearsals have commenced.

We have hit a snag meaning we now need an extra member to come in and join us to take one of the roles..

Fancy it? You'll have lots of support of friendly group members.

Actively seeking new members to join - and no experience necessary.

Do you have hidden talents - or may be not so hidden and fancy joining an existing group ? We have a few weeks before rehearsals get underway for our next play so it's a great chance to come along if you might like to be up front.
