Welcome to the Launceston Players Web Site

We have been bringing theatre to the Launceston community for over eighty years and are committed to staging quality productions from all genres. 

The Players aim to give opportunities to directors, actors, costumers and technical crew to hone their skills, through our productions and through the Workshops we co sponsor with The School of Performing and Visual Arts, Academy of the Arts, UTAS. 

We maintain a comprehensive wardrobe and properties division which supports not only our own productions but through our hiring facility those of other Theatre groups in Tasmania.  

The Players also supports, as an umbrella group, The Twilight Tappers who present a tapping extravaganza each December which features dancers from several of its dance classes.  

We are also committed to supporting the cancer Council of Tasmania as a participant with our team the Board Trippers in the annual Relay for Life.     

The Players have just completed a most successful run of the ground breaking and thought provoking drama "Whose Life is it Anyway?" by Brian Clark and directed sensitively by Jahn Gluszyk. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this wonderful production.  

In rehearsal currently are three one act plays directed by Mark Horner, Jahn Gluszyk  and Betty Hall. The plays represent Comedy, French Farce and Absurd Theatre so they will provide an evening of laughter for theatre goers. They will be staged on the 2nd and 3rd of October 2009 at the Earl Arts Centre and entered to compete in the Deloraine Drama Festival on the 9th and 10th of October 2009.
