Parish Players was founded in 1956 and is a group of amateur thespians who meet regularly on Tuesday evenings in St Mary’s Church Hall, Church Path, Merton Park, London SW19.

We aim to put on at least two productions a year – one a pantomime during the first couple of weeks of January  followed by a production in May. 
Our next production is Noel Coward's 'Blithe Spirit' in May 2008.

Recent summer productions have included Shakespeare’s 'Twelfth Night', 'Oh What a Lovely War ',  ‘Hobson’s Choice’ by Harold Brighouse, ‘Arcadia’ by Tom Stoppard,  Wilde’s ‘Importance of Being Earnest’  and ‘Cabaret’.  Sometimes we put on productions at other times of the year (for instance we performed ‘A Journey’s End’ in November 1993, to commemorate Remembrance Day and in 2002 an evening of readings and songs to mark the Golden Jubilee).

Membership details
Subscriptions are £25 per annum and £10 for the unwaged (students, OAPs, etc).

Even if you are not a budding thespian, but have an interest in the theatre, Parish Players provides an opportunity to participate in all aspects of a production – costume, make up, lighting, sound, props, stage management, front of house –

you don't have to tread the boards!
