Interested in amateur theatre?

Grenoside & Birley Carr Players (GBCP) perform plays and Gilbert & Sullivan operettas at the Community Centre, Grenoside, Sheffield, S35 8PR, UK.

 GBCP was recently formed by the merger of two existing groups, both of whom had been in existence for around 60 years.  Grenoside Players have performed two plays each year at the Community Centre whilst Birley Carr Methodist Musical & Dramatic Society presented a play & a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta in Birley Carr Church hall.  Due to the closure of the church, a merger of the two societies was seen to be beneficial to both groups in that it secured a home in the Community Centre for productions and it increased acting resources to allow a larger range of plays to be presented. The merger introduces Gilbert & Sullivan operettas to the Grenoside Community.

In recent years the society has presented a series of plays and operettas, slideshows of which can be viewed within this website.  Most recent Gilbert & Sullivan operettas have been 'Patience' and 'The Gondoliers' and in April 2013 the group will present 'The Mikado'.  Most recent plays have been 'Play On' by Rick Abbott and 'Cards on the Table' by Agatha Christie.  The next play , as yet unselected, will be presented in November 2012.

 


 


Why you should join our Group?

An enthusiastic group of theatre lovers,with a wide range of acting and singing abilities, meet for the express purpose of maintaining the presence of amateur theatre for the enjoyment of our community.

We also welcome theatre lovers to take part in our productions.  However, those who have no wish to appear on stage would also be welcome to assist frontstage and behind the scenes in set building & props.  You never know, a wish to appear on stage may develop when you realise that your hidden talent can shine from within a large chorus.

Please get in touch through the contact page if you are interested in joining G&BCP.

Rehersals for plays and Gilbert &  Sullivan operettas are held  at 7-45 on Wednesday evenings in Grenoside Community centre or Norfolk Hill Methodist Church, Grenoside. Additional rehersals  are held on Monday evenings near to a production.
