Western College Players Theatre Company are Plymouth's longest serving Amateur Dramatics Company. Our on going mission is to offer a non pretentious forum which inspires all ages to participate in theatrical productions for wide audiences. Our philosophy is 'learning through doing'. We provide opportunities for all members of the community to take part both front and back stage. For young people we offer valuable experience which can help prepare for a successful career in the industry, often performing new original works providing creative opportunities unavailable elsewhere. We are a not for profit organisation, if a production is successful it serves only to fund the next.
Our most recent production was a brand new adaptation of the beloved TV comedy classic 'The Vicar of Dibley' in The Drum Theatre Royal Plymouth 29th January- 1st February 2025. This is special sold out production was a double celebration- for both our 95th anniversary and thirty years of the classic sitcom. Our thanks to all involved- and all those that came along to support the production.
Over our 95 years we have presented a wide variety of productions- most recent of which are our hilarious hit original 'Another Murder Mystery', and dazzling 'Glorious: The true story of Florence Foster Jenkins- the worst singer in the world'. Other recent productions have been as diverse as 'Lady Windermere's Fan', 'Oliver Twist', 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', 'Phantom of the Opera', 'The Railway Children', 'The Diary of Anne Frank', 'Wuthering Heights', 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, 'Hi de Hi' and 'The Graduate'.
