ABOUT US

Fylde Coast Players are one of the longest running theatre Groups in the area. We have been established for 60 years and have been based in several locations over the years.

We specialise in plays and have produced comedies, tragedies, dramas and farces. There is a wide range of ages in the society and everyone is encouraged to take part and do what they can. You don't have to act - there is always plenty to do in any production from building sets and props to making costumes and helping backstage during shows.
 
We have presented over 200 shows since our founding in 1957 and are looking forward to the next 200!
 
Rehearsals currently take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Ex-Servicemen's Club in Alexandra Road, St Annes, FY8 1YE.
 
Productions are usually staged at Lowther Pavilion which is on the seafront at Lytham. For more information about the Theatre please visit www.lowtherpavilion.co.uk/

And it's not just about Drama......

Fylde Coast Players is also a social society with various social events throughout the year, including barbecues, treasure hunts, lunches and of course a Christmas 'do'. Many members attend shows together and new members are always welcome. Members come from a huge range of ages (from early teens to late 80's) and backgrounds.
