Bringing theatre to the village since 1946
Where it all started…
The original Burley Players was founded in 1946 by Mrs Dorothy Hornsby, but later disbanded in 1962. Jeanne Wilde came to Burley in 1984 and was keen to find a amateur dramatics company to join, this is when the Burley Players was reignited and it’s been a thriving theatre company ever since!
1989, the year of the pantomime
In 1989, the Burley Players showcased their first pantomime of Cinderella, it was of course a great success and we’ve since performed pantomimes from a range of script-writers, including:
Dick Whittington
Snow White
Old King Cole
Sleeping Beauty
And many more!
