Local Theatre Groups have a well established history throughout the British Isles, they provided entertainment, and also raised funds for many a worthy cause. The players themselves would take great pride with each production, and it is amazing how they produced backdrops, props, and period costumes on often a non existent budget. As can be seen on the programme kindly sent in by Mollie Uttley, a nights entertainment could be had for two bob in the 1950's.
;Like the Thrybergh Players most local Village Theatre was performed in the Church or Parish Halls. The Church Hall in Thrybergh is on Park Lane. Many of the people in the group above would also be very active in other areas concerning St. Leonard's Church .
So if you have a memory of The Thrybergh Players please send it in
