We are home to over 40 entirely student led productions a year and host events every Wednesday as well as theatre festivals, workshops and training programmes throughout the year.

The Wizard of Oz – as you've never seen it before! Get ready for a delightful, slightly wobbly journey down the Yellow Brick Road, brought to you by the DU Players. Join Dorothy, a girl from Kansas who somehow manages to get lost in a place with only one road, as she teams up with a Scarecrow who’s a little too flexible, a Tin Man who squeaks more than he speaks, and a Lion who’s still figuring out how to roar without frightening himself.
Along the way, they'll meet a Wizard who's probably more confused than they are, and a Wicked Witch who's just a bit cranky from a lack of flying monkeys. With homemade costumes, sets that might blow over, and special effects powered entirely by imagination, this is an amateur production full of heart, laughs, and a few surprises (like whether that prop will hold up or not).
Perfect for families, friends, and anyone who enjoys seeing live theatre with a dash of chaos, this is The Wizard of Oz with a Players twist—and we can't wait to take you over the rainbow with us (if we can get the projector to work)!
I'm a Homosexual!

Megan is 17 and her life is pretty perfect: She has a boyfriend, plenty of friends, does well in school, and has a great relationship with her parents. But when her friends and family stage an intervention with her out of the blue, Megan is forced to confront a part of herself she didn't know existed. She is sent to a centre for conversion therapy, where she meets Graham, falls in love, and learns to accept herself for who she is.
