The South Devon Players Theatre & Film C

About

With a rehearsal base at Chestnut Community Centre, on the edge of our hometown Brixham in southwest England, we tour our shows out to a variety of exciting performance spaces, mostly to local theatres, but also to museum spaces, church halls, and even open-air venues.

Over the course of a typical year, we produce two to four productions, as well as also supporting community events, amateur groups, historical and cultural events with our skills, wherever feasible. As we are able to build funds and the organisation, the number of productions will be able to increase.

We are also looking to build an educational, training arm to provide affordable training to local people, including those living below the poverty line, to develop strong performance skills to seek employment in the creative industries, and alongside that, excellence in transferable skills in communication, self-presentation, self-confidence, teamwork, literacy, and technical skills.

Our productions have won national and regional awards including the all-England Epic Award 2017, the Torbay Together: Creativity In The Community Award 2014, with national and international film festival nominations for our film and video projects, including the Los Angeles Cinefest, Miami Epic Trailer Film Festival, UK Screen One International Film Festival.

We are passionate and determined to create high-quality theatre featuring local and regional performers, proving that local people can put on world-class performance.
