The Society was founded in 1898 and we believe we are the oldest dramatic society
in Hertfordshire.

The Players perform two plays a year at the Broxbourne Civic Hall in High Street, Hoddesdon
usually in April and November. In addition there is usually a revue of sketches and songs
performed to lighten the dark months of January and February!

We have a full and varied programme of playreadings and social events throughout the year and
our Annual General Meeting is held in July. We usually rehearse at St. Catherine's School,
Hoddesdon on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, where there are excellent facilities.

We are members of the Broxbourne Arts Forum and the Badger Group for the Performing Arts,
which is a group of three local performing arts societies: Hoddesdon Players,
East Herts Operatic Society and Cheshunt Dramatic Society.

Our scenery, properties, furnitiure and costumes are currently housed in Unit 12 at Brookfield
Farm Industrial Estate, where we also have a workshop.

We are a small society and we concentrate on presenting plays to the public which are
entertaining and which also provide challenges to our members. We are always looking for new
members who will receive a warm welcome and we are looking for people who have an interest
in any aspect of drama; not just acting but scene building, costumes, behind-the-scenes
work or making the tea!

We also have a thriving Supporters Club who enjoy reduced rates. See above.
