Our next show will be:
Calamity Dame
A rootin’ tootin’ family panto to raise your spirits
from here to the Wild West!
Written & Directed by Linda Dunn
“Come with us to the Wild West. Can Nanny Oakley and her friends stop that greedy and mischievous Juan Gonzalez from selling their beloved Tavern? What naughty tricks will Juan get up to? Who will save the day? Come and join us to find out! All the fun of a traditional Pantomime with audience participation (Oh yes there is!), songs, dances, and, of course, the bad jokes. See you there. “

More about the St James’s Players
We are a local amateur dramatics group based at St James Church Hall in New Malden, Surrey. Our members range from 16 years old to over 80 years young. The group enjoys not only theatre work but also a variety of other social activities.
The Players usually perform 2 plays a year, in May and October, and a pantomime (or revue) in January. Each play is normally 4 performances but a pantomime could be as many as 6 shows, including matinees.
The group also actively raises funds for charities. In recent years we have raised money for Lymphoma Research, Mencap, Born Too Soon, the Down’s Syndrome Association, Alopecia UK and The Royal Marsden Hospital. Our charity for 2024/25 is Parkinson’s UK.
“We’re a people-powered movement on the verge of major breakthroughs in Parkinson’s. Together, we will find a cure. We help people to live as well as possible. And make sure everyone understands the real impact of Parkinson’s.”
Members can help in a variety of ways, not just acting on the stage. We have a dedicated team of helpers backstage and front of house without whom the shows would not happen. This includes sound, lighting, set building, costumes and refreshments. The applause at the end of each show is also for these valued members of the group.
