EDENBRIDGE PLAYERS

The ‘Edenbridge Amateur Dramatic Society’ was founded in 1926 but disbanded during the Second World War. We then re-formed in 1949 as ‘The Edenbridge Players’ and our first production was ‘Mr Pimm Passes By’ and had an audience of over 300!

 

We are delighted to have made it to our 75th anniversary! During this time, we have had our ups and downs, which in the 1980s almost spelt the end but for the tenacity of our longest serving member, our president, Carole Ore.

 

Having been saved, the Edenbridge Players have made great strides ever since - becoming a permanent fixture in the town’s calendar, staging successful plays twice a year. Not even the enforced hiatus during the pandemic halted our momentum, and in fact the years since 2022 have seen our biggest audiences and extra performance nights being added as a result.

 

The old adage that ‘success breeds success’ has certainly been true of the Edenbridge Players, as every popular production we stage brings in new members of all ages and from all backgrounds - all bringing their own creative input and ideas.

 

Aside from the shows we stage, most importantly the Players also enjoy socialising together, have meals, or just enjoy each other’s company at the pub!

 

Thank you for your support and playing your part in making the Edenbridge Players such a continuing success.
