And looking ahead to next year ...
We could not be more excited to be bringing you the Mel Brooks' YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN!
This monster of a show will have you tapping in the aisles, rolling inthe hay and putting on the Ritz. Full of fabulous songs, Mel Brooks' unique humour, and a tap dancing monster - as show not to be missed!

And our Previous shows? Well..
2012 saw our debut production, Jim Cartwright's The Rise and Fall of Little Voice; we followed that up in May 2013 with the fantastic Adler and Ross musical comedy The Pajama Game. Next was the comedy thriller by Ira Levin - Deathtrap. Our first 18 months as a company were certainly busy, and we didn't shirk from a challenge when we chose to stage Mel Brooks' fabulous musical comedy The Producers. Wow! That was fun for cast, crew and audience!
Five months later, we found ourselves in a new venue, the magnificent Buscot Park Theatre, for a zany Alan Ayckbourn play, Improbable Fiction. Record breaking costume changes and record breaking audiences ... all three shows were sold out a month before opening night!
2015 started with our auditions and rehearsals for Stephen Sondheim's fabulous musical, Into the Woods. Show week came and went and oh my, what a fabulous time we had - it was 'Perfect'!
And then it was time for a bit of comedy ...nothing better than Michael Frayn's outstanding comedy Noises Off - probably our hardest show to datel. Who can resist a nice plate of sardines.......!
In 2016 we joined the Lord family for the wedding of the year, and truly had a swell party ...High Society was our most successful show to date.

Moving away from the glamour of Oyster Bay we headed to a northern pub, for a production of Jim Cartwright's 'Two' at Buscot Park Theatre. What an amazing production ... one night, one pub, 14 characters, two actors.
In 2017, our fifth year, we produced our 10th show SWEENEY TODD: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Stephen Sondheim's award winning musical We also staged our very first open air performance of The Importance of Being Earnest and finished the year with a bang and the comedy musical Spamalot

Our 2018 programme started with a fabulous modern comedy, A Bunch of Amateurs, written by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman. We had such fun being The Stratford Players and trying to perform King Lear! The autumn saw us playing another bunch of theatre makers, in the fabulous Gershwin musical, CRAZY FOR YOU . High energy dancing, beautiful ballads and a lot of laughs - who could ask for anything more!
2019 brought us the magnificent challenge of staging The 39 Steps with just 5 fabulous actors recreating the loved John Buchan novel and Alfred Hitchcock thriller -- with a comic twist! And we ended 2019 with the ever-fabulous musical GUYS AND DOLLS ...little did we know that this would be our last musical for over two years ... what with one thing and another.

2020 was not an easy year for anyone in the performing arts. The Corona virus pandemic put an end to us performing CHICAGO, as due to lockdowns we had to cancel the show just a few weeks before opening. Cast, crew and director all completely broken hearted after months of rehearsals, building this amazing show, that no-one got to see.
When it seemed there was a glimpse of light on the performing horizon, we took the decision to rehearse for a staged-concert version of the musical A CHRISTMAS CAROL. We rehearsed and prepared following all the covid guidelines, but as we headed to the end of the year, it became apparent that this show was also never going to be seen by our audiences, and we sadly cancelled it.
And so to 2021 ... not knowing what the year would bring, we made plans for big musicals in 2022 and 2023, and then, in the summer we tested our optimism once more and started rehearsing for the award-winning Neil Simon comedy BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. We crossed our fingers and held our collective breath right up until opening night and beyond .... just one positive test would scupper this performance too, but we very splendidly got to perform this great play to sold out houses at the amazing little theatre in Buscot Park. AmEgos were back!
In early 2022, we were excited to start planning for our 10th Anniversary year, and our first musical since November 2019. Prepping for ME AND MY GIRL brought many covid-related challenges, but in April we staged the happiest of musicals to very appreciative audiences.
