New Era Players is a small, friendly and very successful theatre club that was established in the Wash Common area on the south edge of Newbury in 1978. Our performances each year offer a wide variety of theatrical styles - just take a look at our past productions!
One of our important aims is to produce plays that are a challenge to both ourselves and our audiences, as well as putting on more traditional productions. We have strong talent in all areas of theatre; directing, acting and the technical aspects. The great joy of having a small theatre of our own is that we can develop performances in the actual space - very exciting for all concerned.
We put on four productions a year - usually in March, June, September and December. Our normal rehearsal nights are Tuesdays and Thurdays, but these can vary depending on availability for each cast and director.
We have an active social play reading programme for our members, where we read and enjoy plays we would not perhaps be able to put on - and enjoy the odd glass of wine!
If you want to share the experience of performing on stage, share the creativity of set-building or costume design or just enjoy the teamwork in whatever direction your talents take you, please enjoy this website and join us using the contact details you will find here. Whether you are experienced or just have bags of enthusiasm, you can be assured of a warm welcome.
