ABOUT US
Stirling
Players began in 1970 with the amalgamation of Northbridge Repertory
and The Intimate Players.
Our
original home was in the Old Perth Roads Board office in Main
St. Osborne Park, but very soon we moved to the Progress Hall
in Gildercliffe St, Scarborough.
As
our membership increased, in 1978, we were given the Health Administration
Office in the City of Stirling Precinct. This became, after much
renovation, the first Stirling Theatre.
Here
we remained, growing in strength and repute, until Christmas 2000
when we were unceremoniously bulldozed away.
The
City of Stirling then gave us the use of the Innaloo Recreation
Centre. They equipped us with a new purpose built stage and greenroom,
chairs and evaporative air-conditioning.
We
also have done some renovations. We bought new stage curtains,
lighting and sound equipment and fitted out the greenroom.
Our
aim is to promote and encourage drama and allied arts within the
City of Stirling for cultural, educational and recreational purposes,
not for profit.
Stirling
Players Youth (SPY) caters for young people aged between 13 and
21 years. Workshops are held and include basic skills of acting,
movement, set design and construction, lighting and sound effects,
costume, directing, stage management and script writing.
