Who are the Linlithgow Players?
The Linlithgow Players are an amateur drama group with a membership of approximately 25 adults. We perform throughout the year in Linlithgow and sometimes beyond!
Our calendar starts with our ever popular family pantomime which takes place in January at the Linlithgow Academy Theatre. As well as being a great opportunity for everyone in the group to be involved in a production, it is also the one show in which we invite children to join us as members of the chorus.
We perform a full length play in Spring, traditionally at the Academy, but most recently at Linlithgow Primary School (Ladies' Day and Ghost Writer).
Over the summer, we perform historical short plays in Linlithgow Palace at the invitation of Historic Environment Scotland.
Finally, our Plays and Wine event falls in October. This is an evening of one act plays and sketches where the audience sits cabaret style to enjoy the cheese and wine or soft drinks provided.
Visit our 'Get Involved!' page if you would like to be kept informed of upcoming productions.

What have we done?As well as enjoying successes here (most notably being runners up at the One Act Festival Scottish final with A Night Under Canvas), the festivals also allow us to learn and develop.
This allowed us the opportunity to attend workshops run by professional coaches from the RSC and receive individual directorial mentoring from Dundee Rep Theatre throughout the project. Our Shakespearean adventures culminated in a performance of What...You Will? in Stratford-upon Avon at the invitation of the RSC. |
What a laugh we have!
