Sense & Sensibility
Directed by Sarah Atkinson, this play will be involving the majority of the group, which is a huge undertaking.
Sarah said, 'It’s 250yrs since Jane Austin was born, so what better way to celebrate then bringing her first book to life on our stage and to involve so many is so great'.
It revolves around the love, lost, and won, of Eleanor and Marianne (Amy Henery and Lucy Atkinson) to the country following the death of their father.
Tom Guest, Charlie Lines and Ste Edgoose-Clubley play Edward Ferrars, Colonel Brandon, and Willoughby. With elegant costumes, dances and music, this play will appeal to everyone. With supporting cast members Viv Jacobs, Rosemary Jones, Peter Hook and Jason Legender, plus others it’s one not to be missed. -

An epic journey...
-
Snow Queen
Kai (Eve Legender) and Gerda (Sophie Richards) are best friends who would do anything for each other. When Kai disappears, Gerda is the only one who can find him. She sets off on an epic journey to find the Snow Queen (Bea Edgoose-Clubley), encountering a witch, talking flowers, a band of robbers and a brave reindeer along the way. This lovely play involves all the SPYS which is a bit of an undertaking.

SPYS (Youth Section)
For 7-18 year olds.The SPYS meet every Sunday in the Parish Hall in Sedgefield. Any child aged 7 plus is welcome to join: there is no weekly fee or audition but yearly subs are £10.
Hard work and camaraderie!
Established in 1971, ‘Sedgefield Players’ is a vibrant and enthusiastic award winning amateur drama group based in the Northeast of England. Meeting twice every week on a Wednesday and Sunday at 7:30pm in the Parish Hall, Sedgefield, we are able to manage a full and varied schedule to keep every member feel included and involved.
We produce two full adult productions per year and a high tech and exciting pantomime, plus the odd review or’ Murder Mystery’ night, as the occasion calls.
We also run our own week-long drama festival in September, participate in both local and national drama festivals, run the Sedgefield Players Youth Section (SPYS) and present a SPYS production in the summer. All of our productions may include music, dance, song or just plain drama, be it comedy or tragedy.
Above all, we are a group of people of all ages and backgrounds who have fun together and also manage to find time to have the occasional night out at the theatre, party or barbecue.
Although a good many of us have been members for over 30 years, we always welcome and need new members, not necessarily those who want to act, but for all aspects of theatre – technical, costume, properties, scene shifting or just coming to share the fun. We aim to make everyone feel included. Come along any Wednesday or Sunday to watch before you decide.
Anybody is welcome to come along and see what we do without the need to sign up.
