The Grenoside Drama group has been in existence for around 70 years, in various locations, putting on plays once or twice each year. In 2010, a merger was completed with Birley Carr Players, who have a similar history

The combined group, called the Grenoside and Birley Carr Players, is now able to perform a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta in March, and a play in October

Our last operetta was The Pirates of Penzance, one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular: the next will be decided at the May AGM

Our most recent play was the thriller Who Lies There. The play for this October will be “Brassed Off“, with a live brass band! Performance are October 14-16, with a matinee on the 17th. Tickets from Helen on 07971 264322

New members on-stage or off-stage are always welcome. For more information,  go to sites.google.com/site/grenosidebirleycarrplayers/
