Douglasdale Players

This is the official Douglasdale Players page. Our show is March every year. The Group performs annually in March in Douglas Primary School.

Douglasdale Players are an amateur Musical Theatre Group based in the village of Douglas in South Lanarkshire. The shows are normally in the tradition of pantomime. We often base our stories on traditional themes, but the scenes, story lines and humour are "Douglasised" to suit our audiences. We were founded in 1979, when a few local people decided to write and perform a musical to raise funds for

the bi-centenary celebrations of St. Brides Church in Douglas. It was home grown, made some money and considered such a success that we did it again and again and again! Over the years we have donated more than £50,000 to local causes, national charities and to many local groups. The cast and production team consist of a wide range of persons with various skill sets and talents, from primary and secondary school kids to pensioners and other retired persons, with a great cross section of the community in between!

2019 is our 40th Anniversary Show and preparations are well underway. We now feature a float in the annual Douglas gala day to promote the up coming show which has been a lot of fun! If you would like to contact us, please do so either here on Facebook or by email on [email protected]
