about us
last production
Amateur Players of Sherborne (APS) are one of the oldest groups in the area. Since the group was founded in 1934, we have presented over 180 shows and have received a number of awards. We are now based in the Sherborne Studio Theatre.
Our March production of Educating Rita, a study of the relationship between a feisty young hairdresser and a hard-drinking, disillusioned university professor, was widely acclaimed for the standard of acting and overall professionalism.

Educating Rita
"The play's message about the transformative power of Literature and Education was brought across beautifully, and the pomposity of the academic establishment was punctured with waspish accuracy by both Martin and Sarah. Thanks again and congratulations on a stunning production of a play that hasn't dated one little bit." (Carl Davies)
"I just wanted to say that was an outstanding performance of Educating Rita last night. Acting at a professional level throughout, so too direction, the crew and the set. A real tour de force. Congratulations to everyone concerned. How lucky we are to have such excellent theatre on our doorstep." (Roy Leask)

"Absolutely phenomenal production of Educating Rita last night. I pity anyone who can't get a ticket; so brilliant in every way. Better than the film." (Alison Fenwick)
"Saw Educating Rita last night….. wow ! Many congratulations to Sarah and Martin. How lucky are we in Sherborne to have such talent, a great little venue and to be totally blown away by such great performances. Well done to everyone involved. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening out. Thank you." (Jane Pitts)
Educating Rita
"A diamond of a production! Perfection!" (Linda Catchpole)
Shakespeare In (and out of) Love
"I just wanted to let you know that I thought the production was absolutely fantastic. What a brilliantly accessible way of presenting Shakespeare: so clever; so clear, and the cast and their fabulous costumes were amazing, too. The way it was written and the use of the space and changes of level within the Paddock Gardens was brilliant. And the weather was sooo kind, too! Thank you all so much for a wonderful afternoon."
Shakespeare In (and out of) Love
"What a lovely afternoon in the sunshine!… I was entertained by a blend of comic and tragic Shakespearean genius, all brought together by a team of exceptional talent. It was brilliant and you all did a beautiful job. Thank you." (Joanna Simpson)
