• Our artistic vision is theatre that engages, questions, provokes and entertains.
• Our activities include a monthly play reading group, regular feasibility readings, skills workshops, plays and participation in theatre festivals.

• We are an open and transparent organisation and are always looking for new members to work with us.

A Message of Welcome from our Chair

Welcome to our Website, which provides you with information about our wonderful English-speaking, not-for-profit, community theatre group!

We are extremely proud to have been presenting excellent English theatre for over 40 years, offering our audiences two main productions a year, one in the spring and one in the winter, which we perform at the Brotfabrik Bühne in Beuel, an ideal performance venue. Visit our “Past Productions” page on our History tab to view the rich variety of plays we have performed in the past. 40 years.

The Bonn Players represents so much more than just an English speaking theatre group. mainly, because of the consistently high standard of the productions we perform, and, because the people who make up its ranks, whether they fervently learn lines to tread the boards, read plays, design and manufacture sets, costumes and props, prompt, work backstage, do stage make-up, direct, or assist the audience at the front of house, every single one of them contributes towards creating a warm and caring community of people who just happen to share a love of all things theatre.

Any community theatre group rises and falls on the strength of its members and we are no exception. We always welcome new members and offer a number of ways to engage and become involved in our activities, which includes monthly, online play readings, feasibility play readings, Christmas Parties, and of course, in our main productions.

If I have whetted your appetite, please come along and watch one of our productions and register for our mailing list so as not to miss any upcoming events and productions, or better still, become a member and experience this wonderful community theatre group for yourselves!
