Founded in 1967 and with many award-winning productions to their name, The Lowestoft Players are one of East Anglia's premier amateur theatre groups.
​
For over 50 years the society has been performing pantomimes, musicals, plays and revues to packed audiences from across the region.
​
The society usually performs two musicals, one play/revue and one pantomime per year. These productions are performed at 'The Marina Theatre', or at our own intimate 200 seater theatre 'The Players Theatre' which also doubles up as our own rehearsal and social venue.
​
The society currently has over 100 active members who all contribute in their own way, either on the stage, behind the scenes or helping with social activities.
​
We have members from all across the local area and we always welcome new members aged 16 and above. In pantomimes and some musicals, junior members are required. Separate auditions are held for junior members. For details on upcoming auditons please check our Facebook page.
Welcome to The Lowestoft Players
Founded in 1967 and with many award-winning productions to our name, The Lowestoft Players are one of East Anglia's premier amateur theatre groups.
​
Now, for nearly 60 years our society has been performing pantomimes, musicals, plays and revues to packed audiences from across the region and beyond.
Our home at the 'Players Theatre'
The Players home is at the 'Players Theatre', located in the centre of town, just around the corner from the Marina Theatre, having been based at our previous Headquarters in Stradbroke Road, Pakefield, for over 33 years
​
Following numerous hours of hard work from our very supportive membership, the former Seamans Mission has been converted into a spectacular home - the Players Theatre, providing our award winning society with an exciting future.
​
Whilst retaining its history, this magnificent building has been transformed into a versatile two hundred seater performing space, along with two rehearsal studios, entertaining space, a stage, props store along with catering facilities and a licensed bar. Our Theatre Space is available to hire and hosts all kinds of events, functions and performances.
The Lowestoft Players have a excellent reputation providing decades of entertainment to a range of audiences.
Our membership, with decades of experience, take delight in producing high quality musicals, pantomimes, plays and reviews each offering a unique and captivating experience. It doesn't just stop on the stage though, as significant time and investment goes into providing top-notch scenery, props, costumes and technical elements rivalling many professional productions.​
​
With shows constantly being produced, it’s no wonder our audiences return again and again.
