Welcome to The Guild Players
The Guild Players have staged 184 productions since their first in 1956, including a wide range of straight plays, comedies, thrillers, melodramas, whodunnits, musicals and pantomimes.
We meet at St George's Hall on Tuesday from 7:30pm for about 2 hours and, for several weeks before a show, we also meet on Thursdays, at the same time, at various other local rehearsing venues. We only usually take a break in August and over the Christmas and New Year Holidays
Shows are performed in St George's Hall, High St, Deal, which we rename as The Kilshawe Theatre. We produce 2 or 3 shows a year normally in April, July and December.
Typically our shows run for 3 days, nightly from Thursday to Saturday and, depending on expected demand, we may include a matinee on the Saturday afternoon and open a day earlier on the Wednesday.
Membership of the Society is open to anybody upon payment of the current annual subscription of £15. We also charge a modest show fee of £10 if you are cast in a show.
We are always interested to hear from anyone who would like to contribute to the life and activities of our dynamic amateur theatre group.
