Bampton in Devon

Bampton Players We are an amateur dramatic society with an interest in all things theatrical - be it acting, play reading, workshops, theatre trips or just plain socialising. We celebrated our 30th Anniversary in 2006. Bampton Players were formed in 1976, and are a registered charity (No. 277774).

What has been happening

‘Bampton’s Magical Mystery Tour’ in November was well attended by about 60 people. An entertaining evening was performed by the Players, guided by Fran Collier.   Cheese and Wine were enjoyed by everyone with candlelight and colourful decorations to add to the atmosphere.

Nearly 30 people experienced a delicious Christmas Dinner at the ‘Quarryman’s Arms’ before Christmas.

We took part in the Christmas Tree Festival in St Michael’s Church, Bampton. The Players decorated their tree with colourful ‘cut-outs’ of Pantomime characters and foil animals.  Thank you to those who helped.

JUNIOR PLAYERS

It is good to have some of the Junior Players taking part in the Pantomime.  After the Pantomime there will be some vacancies for new children to join.   The Juniors meet on a Wednesday evening 6pm-7pm in the Riverside Hall.
 If you know of any child aged 7 years (or nearly 7 years) and over who would be interested to join. Please get in touch with Claire Benton at the Post Office.

PLAYREADINGS

We hope these will recommence in March. It will be helpful to find out at the Annual Meeting how many people would be interested to take part and make them worthwhile occasions.

HELP IS NEEDED

The Players are always looking for anyone who would like to become involved in any way:  painting scenery, props, costumes, helping with refreshments, front of house, behind scenes, acting, publicity, etc.
Do get in touch if you know anyone interested with Alan Woolley (332195)

We welcome new members - our aim is to encourage live performance in Bampton so we need support, actors and non actors alike. Membership is £7.50 per year.
