About Us:

Based in the village of Rackheath, just on the North Eastern outskirts of Norwich, we are a friendly amateur dramatic society with an ever-increasing membership.

We stage three productions a year - traditionally either a musical or pantomime in February, and two other productions; one in Spring/early Summer, and one in the Autumn.

We are an open-minded group, unafraid to push boundaries and test our own theatrical limits. In addition we have a thriving Youth Theatre which performs an annual Summer production plus a Christmas showcase.

New members are always welcome! We meet weekly from 20:00 - 22:00 on a Thursday (although for the June 2024 show we will be rehearsing on Mondays 1900-2200) at Rackheath Village Hall. As a production draws near, we rehearse on both Monday and Thursday. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or enquiries.

We would very much like to thank Great Hall Players for their generous donation of sound and lighting equipment.

LIGHTING FUND

LIGHTING FUND

Rackheath Players launched a project to update their lighting equipment at the end of 2016 and, through donations and fundraising have raised in excess of £5,000. Although it is not clear when and from where the Players obtained their lighting equipment, it is thought that some lights might have been in position since the rebuild of the hall in the 1970s. Little of the Players lighting rig has been purchased new and some is on long term loan from other societies or donated from societies that no longer exist.

The Players estimate that it will cost some £10,000 to bring the equipment up to date and are looking at fundraising opportunities, grants, donations and sponsorship.
If you wish to help this project, donations can be made via bank transfer or cheque, please contact us for further details.

We would like to thank all our members, friends and followers for supporting the activities, or who have made donations to our lighting fund.
