A Festival of One-Act Plays
One-Act Plays Co-Ordinator – David McCaddon
Assisted by David Burt
Festival Background
Held every two years the Players first ever Playwriting Competition was launched in September 1998 and its founder and organiser (and now Chairman) Annabelle Hull was thrilled to receive nine entries!
The second competition in 2000 produced some 21 entries and from then on the number of entries increased as has the standard of play. With the launch in 2012 of the Player’s website (www.congletonplayers.com) some 121 plays were received for the competition.
Altogether the Players have now showcased some forty-eight plays – all written especially for The Players since 1998. This means of course that the writers have had the privilege and joy of seeing their words and ideas come to life on stage.
This year will be no exception with a record total of some 440 entries received!
The audience on the night will each cast their vote for the winning play with a prize of £150 to the successful author!

The 300-seat theatre is located just on the edge of the town centre near the leisure centre. It is the home of various amateur groups as well as being available to hire for shows. The original theatre built in the 1980s has been extended. The extension has rehearsal rooms, scenery store and provides better access and facilities for all theatre users.
These facilities enable shows of all types to be staged, from plays to musicals, films to dance shows. pantomimes to concerts. So we aim to have during our season something to all tastes.
