About Us
The Thetford Players group was established in the spring of 2010 and sought to fill the void left by the former Thetford Music and Drama Society and the Moonlighters theatre group in the town. The successful community play, "Citizen of the World", delivered as part of the Thomas Paine 200th anniversary celebrations in 2009, showed a real enthusiasm for drama in the town, both from budding thespians and an appreciative audience. This momentum was carried on with the hugely successful "Dad's Army Comes Home" production in June 2010. A number of the participants in these productions were then poised to carry the baton on with the Thetford Players production of "Dick Whittington" in January 2011.
