Launceston Players
Share
The Launceston Players Society, formed in September 1926, is one of the oldest theatre companies in Australia; since then it has had an unbroken record of operation in the local and Northern Tasmania community. It was started by people with a passion for fine performance, and bringing the best of contemporary works to the theatre going public, a tradition which continues to this day. COMMITTEE 202

Final 2 Performances!
Meet our Director, Jesse Apted
Every case requires a mind willing to take on the impossible. A man who looks at limited resources and sees not a problem, but a puzzle to be solved.
Jesse Apted is our director and if you tell him it's an ambitious undertaking for a first full-length production, he will tell you that is rather the point. Armed with little more than a challenge, a few months of searching, and one fateful visit to a bookshop, he found exactly the right script: a story driven not by lavish sets or elaborate lighting, but by the imagination of the actors and the audience alike.
The result, I am told, is wonderfully, gloriously silly and all the better for it.
Watson and I look forward to seeing what he has made of us.
Don't miss the hilarious Sherlock Holmes mystery on the moors. Final 2 performances today at 2:30pm and 7:30pm. Tickets from the link above or at the door up to one hour before each performance.

Meet the Cast!
I, Sherlock Holmes, have encountered many remarkable individuals in my years of investigation, but few who have mastered quite so many disciplines.
Ashley Eyles joins us for The Hound of the Baskervilles; performer, technician, stage combatant, director, and stage manager. She holds formal certifications in both British and Australian fight direction, and has earned no fewer than two award nominations at the Tasmanian Theatre Awards. In short, she is precisely the sort of person one wants on their side when the game turns dangerous.
The moors, I suspect, hold little fear for her.
Don't miss the hilarious Sherlock Holmes mystery on the moors. Only 3 performances to go. Tickets from the link above or at the door up to one hour before each performance.
