We are a AmDram Group based out of Patchway Community Centre, Bristol.
Following the renovation of Phoenix Hall and its stage in 1999, David Goddard along with members of congregation from Horfield United Reformed Church got together to put on a pantomime; Babes in the Wood and Robin Hood.
In 2001, we were joined by Tracy Rogers and Helen Dunn. Together they directed our second and third pantos – Aladdin and Cinderella. Tracy went on to write (now as Stardust Scripts) and direct all subsequent shows with assistance from our Panto ‘Baddy’, Tim Scaplehorn.
Our talented group consists of: directors; musicians; choreographers; lighting and sound technicians; special effects engineers; costume seemstress; scenery artists; and approximately 30 cast members of all ages and talents.
With Tracy directing her own creations, we perform two shows a year: a Christmas Pantomime in January and a summer play (previously variety shows of sketches and songs).
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, The Phoenix Theatre closed and The Whitefield Players moved to Patchway Community Centre.

Got a creative flair? Join Us
We meet on Sunday afternoons at 2.30 in March – June to rehearse for the summer play; and September – January for pantomime rehearsals.
Rehearsals next start in September 2022 – Date TBC
We are always looking for new members and talent in the lead up to and / or on the night of performances.
Anyone wanting to pursue and acting ambition or showcase a artistic or technical flair – all ages and experiences are welcome! You just need commitment and a good sense of humour! Come along and introduce yourself.
