Founded in the late 1970s as the Mickleover Players, our group spent many years performing at Murray Park School. In 2013, we relocated to John Port Spencer Academy in Etwall and adopted the name Etwall & Mickleover Players. In 2025, we embraced a new chapter as simply the Etwall Players.
We gather for rehearsals every Wednesday at 19:30 in Etwall. Whilst we are committed to delivering high quality performances, we also make sure to infuse our rehearsal process with plenty of laughter and light-heartedness.
We welcome anyone with an interest in theatre - whether it's acting, directing, backstage support, or publicity. Our group takes pride in fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to get involved and give it a try. Membership is open to all for a small annual fee of £5.
