A bit of a change today, in that this isn't about our Autumn production of 'Calendar Girls', which has been cast and we will begin rehearsing soon.

This is about our Daniel Waite ! You will have last seen him clad inan extremely hot orangutan costume in our production of 'Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!'. However, if you're watching 'Rivals', the eagle eyed amongst you may spot him in the election scenes (and the election after party) in series 2, episode 3. For those who haven't, here's some photos from the telly!

(If you are unable to recognise Dan if he's not in an orangutan costume, he's the one in spectacles with a moustache.)

Watch it and check out Dan's classic Dan Dancing!

Hello all! Just a heads up regarding the auditions for our autumn production of 'Calendar Girls'. The last auditions took place last night, (Monday 8th June), so the production team will be going through their notes and contacting people individually over the next few days/week. So you should hear soon.

Just a reminder that the Crown Players are holding a read through/auditions for our Autumn production of Calendar Girls (the play, not the musical) this Thursday (28th May) at The Kings Theatre Gloucester starting at 7:30pm.

It's a great play, with a lot of parts, large and small, so suitable for all levels of experience. If you've fancied getting into amateur dramatics (whether on or off stage), want to return to acting or whatever reason, this is a fantastic feel good comedy to get you in.

Show dates are 26th-28th of November 2026.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Calling all lady actors (and some men actors, but mainly ladies!).

The Crown Players are having a final read through, which will double as an audition, for our autumn production of 'Calendar Girls' by Tim Frith. Show dates are 26th-28th November.

The play that inspired the film and musical (just to be clear, we are NOT producing the musical!)

The read through/audition is at The Kings Theatre Gloucester, on Thursday 28th May. Please arrive from 7 pm so the read/through can start promptly at 7:30 pm. Let us know in the comments if you're coming along!

If you are interested in auditioning and can't make it, please DM us and we can arrange an alternative date.

Here's a blast from the past! Phoebe, who played a variety of ensemble roles in our recently completed production of 'Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!' adapted by Stephen Briggs in her first role with The Crown Players - Gloucester, at the tender age of 16!

Over 2017 and 2018 we produced all 6 episodes of 'Black Adder Goes Forth'. It was a passion project for many of the cast, some of whom were in bits by the end of the final performance.

Who knows, one day we may return to the world of Edmund and Baldrick...

'Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!', performed by The Crown Players - Gloucester, is over.

The actors are tired, but happy.

The set has been taken down and stored for another play.

The The Kings Theatre Gloucester has been cleaned and the lights are off, for now.

Other groups will take to the stage, rehearsals complete, and the magic of the theatre will return.

And so will the Crown Players.

At the time of posting this, it's five o'clock.

And all's well.
