The South Devon Players Theatre & Film Company, Brixham

Nationally award winning theatre & film company from Brixham, Devon, (UK) specialising primarily in historical & classical dramas We are a nationally award winning, internationally known theatre and film collaborative team, from the beautiful fishing port of Brixham; Devon (in South West England). We perform theatre shows, around Torbay, and South Devon, (and hopefully soon nationally) based on historical events, classical stories and mythology. We also make period drama films and web-series productions, around Devon and Cornwall, for online broadcast. In addition, we run a casting agency for experienced, vetted, local actors as well, as a service to people in the local area. This is completely fee-free for our members. The South Devon Players exists to showcase and develop the skills of local performers who are either professionals or aspiring professionals, in the theatre or film arts, while also creating ambitious new work. We were founded in late 2005 by two Brixham performers, and performed our first production in the summer of 2006. Since then we have gone from strength to strength, and are now growing rapidly, with awards won and a rapidly increasing member base, an appearance on a national BBC 1 TV programme, and sponsorship from London for our recent non-musical adaptation of Les Miserables, showtlisted for national arts awards and semi-finalists in a Hollywood film festival, as well as being covered by international publications. New members are always welcomed regardless of their background, experience, beliefs or nationality; we provide an exciting hobby, performance experience and education, and a friendly, safe, inclusive atmosphere. We are not a "childrens" group, and in general require our members to be aged 16 (to 116!!!!), however younger performers may be accepted for some shows, with the strict requirement that they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times. We are members of NODA (the National Operatic & Dramatic Association), and Brixham Chamber of Commerce.
