Rosehill Players
Rosehill Players was formed in 2003 with the vision of gathering amateur talent to produce theatre which would equal anything performed professionally. To realise that vision, local enthusiast Tony Roberts personally financed Mary O’Malley’s play Once A Catholic and, after a successful run at Keswick’s Theatre By The Lake, the play sold out three consecutive nights at Rosehill and Rosehill Players was born.
Since then, the Players have performed a host of plays at Rosehill, including An Inspector Calls, Last Tango in Whitby and Blood Brothers. They have also taken various productions on local tours to schools and community venues in the area.
New members are always welcome, in front and behind the curtain. If you’re interested, please contact the chairman, Roger Wilson at:
