ABOUT WP

BOX OFFICE is CLOSED

WP - Who We Are...
Westoning Players are a very sociable, friendly amateur dramatic group for adults with members from Westoning and surrounding areas of Central Bedfordshire. The group was formed in 1975. We endeavour to perform two productions a year, striving to include as many members as possible on stage and off. We are fortunate to have a pool of committed, skilled and willing members who are keenly involved in all aspects of Am-Dram theatre-craft. We welcome anyone who wants to join in, in whatever capacity. Get in touch or come on down...

WP - what we are...

Westoning Players is a "not-for-profit" Community drama group run by a committee, elected from our AGM at the start of each WP year. Anyone is welcome to attend... but only paid up members may vote at the AGM, or be onstage or work backstage during shows... So to join a fun leisure time performing arts group locally in Central Bedfordshire, come down to see us. We meet Thursdays at 7:30pm - 9:30pm @ Westoning Village Hall... COME ON DOWN!

WP - What We Do...
Like every amateur dramatic group we have a lot more "going on" than the 2 shows or events each year that our very loyal audience see on stage...

We are constantly looking for new (and old) plays to perform and there is a lot of "off-stage" activity to ensure that the group can perform twice a year. What do YOU want to perform with us???????

​

During the prior WP season (2024),

  • We performed "Murder in Little Grimley" - April 2024 [& Act Naturally by Giles Scott - in November 2023]

  • WP member Joyce Bonner led the initiative to install a public-use defibrillator at the Westoning Village Hall. 

  • We had some play-readings... for fun... and a curry, a walk, and theatre trips...

  • Plus, we had some readings of possible future plays. 

We welcome all adults who want to participate, in whatever capacity. Get in touch or come on down... one Thursday.

Scenery

We have created many types of scenery for varied shows.

A lot of work is needed to create it all. But our audiences like the result. And we enjoy its creation.
