Life at St George’s Players
Our Productions
Since 1934, we’ve been putting on shows in South East London. We usually produce two full-length plays a year at St George’s Church, from classic dramas to comedies. We’re a friendly group and we’re always looking for new people to join in.
The Writers’ Group
The Writers’ Group is a separate hub for anyone interested in writing. It runs alongside our main shows as a supportive space to share ideas and get feedback. We also put on “Scratch Nights” to see new work performed for the first time.
No Experience Required
We are 100% volunteer-run and open to everyone. You don’t need any previous theatre experience to get involved. Whether you want to try acting, help with lighting, or just give us a hand with set building, you’ll be very welcome.
Where we perform
St George’s Church, Vancouver Road SE23 2AG.
Where we meet
Regular socials and informal readings at the Blythe Hill Tavern and other local spaces.
