Church Crookham Players

The Memorial Hall in Sandy Lane has been the main venue for several years and the limits of the stage have been well tested with plays such as Alan Ayckbourne’s The Norman Conquests and Bedroom Farce, and other plays, such as Ghost Train, where a train had to cross the stage, Winslow Boy, which had the stage extended by four feet with a full ceiling and chandelier, and Tennessee Williams’ Suddenly Last Summer, which began with a thunderstorm passing over the auditorium.

CCP has a convivial membership of all ages and put on two productions a year, and sometimes one a tour for charity. Our members also collaborate on other productions such shows staged to raise money for the local church building fund.

We design and build our own sets, provide Front of House facilities, design the programmes, posters and tickets, and arrange refreshments on the night - all-important jobs to give the audience a true theatrical experience.

We have our own set and property store, a small costume store, a selection of lights and sound equipment, enough to make the group self- sufficient for small shows.

Members come and go, and even come back. We try to expand and improve our technical base and find challenging plays to stage. As with all groups, we welcome new members for any of the tasks, from set building to playing a part, or even costumes.

The group enjoys an active social scene, including meals out, visits to the professional theatre, picnics, poetry readings, workshops, and, of course, a Christmas party. We meet regularly on the third Thursday of each month (August excepted)

Church Crookham Players have fun as well as put on the best productions possible.

The Players have been established for over 30 years and produce two major productions each year, in Spring and Autumn. We are always looking for new members to join the
