About Us
Richmond Players is a not-for-profit community dramatic society, incorporated in 1996. We produce three shows each year, and deliver high-quality, affordable theatre to the Hawkesbury and surrounding communities.
We are also passionate about developing local talent. We coordinate a number of talent development initiatives to support community members, including young people, to grow their knowledge and experience in the performing arts.

Our History
The Richmond Players was formed through the Richmond Branch of the Country Women’s Association. At a meeting in February 1952 it was suggested that a play reading circle be formed.
One Act plays were performed in the CWA rooms in Richmond and in 1954 the first three act play was performed in the School of Arts, Richmond. This play was “Ladies in Retirement” directed by Dallas Blake.
Richmond Players has presented plays and musicals, including pantomime and theatre/restaurant every year since 1952 making it one of the longest, continually operating drama groups in NSW, and we believe, the longest operating continuously from the same venue.
