Virtual Season
The requested fundraising button
Even during Covid, we are continuing to fundraise for our shows, and plan for the future. Every penny raised goes specifically into rehearsal costs/ costuming/ sets/ insurances/ marketing materials/ fees to actors & crew; to create groundbreaking theatre based on historical events & classical literature, for all ages. 
About Us
The South Devon Players is a collaborative and ambitious Brixham theatre team of dedicated, career-orientated professional performers, who are working on creating careers in theatre and film, and showcasing the very strong talent that exists in Torbay and South Devon (Southwest UK).  While usually our shows are on at live physical venues, we are also responding to Covid by streaming new theatre shows online, so our work, albeit online for the time being, continues unabated. 

We always welcome new performers and other creatives, who share our aims to create top quality productions, and who, regardless of previous experience, want to join a lively, friendly, hardworking team, hone old skills & develop new ones, and create world-class new stage and film productions; and earn from doing so in the process.

The South Devon Players perform theatre shows in Brixham, and around Torbay /  South Devon, based on historical events, classical stories and mythology. We also make period drama films and local interest productions.
​
We are a completely non-political organisation.

People of any race, religion, background, are equally welcome to join the team. The only rule is that you respect treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself, and are kind, respectful & positive towards others, and work in a manner befitting a professional actor/ tech.
We do not usually accept child actors or techicnians, as we are not a youth activity group. 

We run a casting agency for experienced, vetted, local actors as well, as a service to people in the local area. This is completely fee-free for our actors and companies alike.

We are vehemently against "pay to play", and do not charge anyone any fee to audition, perform or become involved with us.  We fund our day to day costs with a book stall at our local market, and our Friends scheme. 

The South Devon Players was founded in late 2005 by two Brixham-based performers who were seeking performance opportunities in the Southwest, and having raised £80 in a carboot sale, to get started, we performed our first production in the summer of 2006. Since then we have gone from strength to strength, and are now growing rapidly, with awards won and a rapidly increasing performer, crew & audience base.
Born of local people wanting to drag themselves up by the bootstraps, the Players continue to do just that!

We are members of Brixham Chamber of Commerce.
