EAST ESSEX PLAYERS group was formed in 1963 and is now a familiar part of the

amateur theatre scene in the Southend area. We present three productions a year   and some of our long serving members have belonged for over 30 years.

 

E.E.P are always happy to welcome new members both acting and non-acting.

You do not have to undergo an audition to join, we just ask that you be prepared to

have a go at some of the many jobs involved in each production.

 

 

We build our own production scenery and sometimes need everyone to give a helping hand in the busy weeks prior to the show. This can be great fun and there is always a job for everyone, even if it is just making the tea !

 

We rehearse Mondays and Tuesdays at 7.30pm at Eastwood Memorial Hall, Lambeth Road, Eastwood.

At first we alternate between the two nights and after about a month of rehearsals, then rehearse both nights.  On the final week before the show we add a Thursday night. All are welcome at rehearsals, whether in the cast or not, we have a break about 9pm where tea and coffee is available.  Visitors who are interested in joining us are welcome to come along to any rehearsal, but you do need to be a member to audition.  The joining fee is £10 and £55 subs for the year, 1st April-1st April.  After the first year subs are £55.  We do not charge a show fee and all costumes are provided.  If we are unable to cast from within the group we may invite someone to guest for us, the guest fee is £35 and this includes costumes.

 

If you wish to be in one of our productions, our audition process is very informal and the cast is chosen by the director of each play.
