Thame Players Theatre hosts free Open Day in February 2026

Whether you’re interested in acting and directing, sound and lighting, costumes and makeup or front-of-house, Thame Players Theatre invites you to experience it all at its free Open Day this February 2026.

Curious to see what goes on backstage at the theatre? Thame Players invite you to take an exclusive peek behind the curtain and discover how a production really comes together.

Taking place on Saturday 7th February 2026, you’ll see how the theatre works first-hand – from front of house to backstage – and meet some of the volunteers who are behind every show that’s put on at Thame’s dedicated theatre.

During your visit, you’ll be able to chat with members of the friendly team about a wide range of roles, including acting and directing, sound and lighting, backstage and set building, costumes and makeup, and front of house.

You’ll also find out how to get involved and receive hands-on training – whether you’re interested in treading the boards, using your technical or DIY skills, helping with costumes and props, or greeting audiences as they arrive to see a show.

Wayne Gibson, Open Day Coordinator at the Thame Players, said: “The theatre is made up of a community of people with different skills who make the magic happen. We’re looking forward to welcoming anyone and everyone from Thame and the local area, when there’ll be opportunities to find out what’s involved in putting on a show and how the theatre ticks.

“You’ll discover what we do and how we do it – from acting and directing to set building, sound and lighting. You’ll learn a lot, and it’ll be a fun experience too.”
