About us

Our Drama Family

Founded in 1962, Highbury Players began as a community theatre group formed by residents of the Highbury Estate in Cosham, Portsmouth. For many years, the group gathered, rehearsed, and staged their performances at St. Philips Church Hall on the estate.

In 2022, the group relocated from their original home on the Highbury Estate to their current base at The Purbrook Centre. Highbury Players are dedicated to producing two plays a year and take pride in hosting an active social calendar, offering monthly activities for members to connect and enjoy.

Our members meet every Monday at 7:30 PM, engaging in rehearsals, set building, or play readings for upcoming productions. New members are always welcome to join the fun and creativity!
