South Shore Players was formed in late 1993 and was the brainchild of the late Roy Portchmouth. He felt that there was so much latent talent around, it should be put to good use! He contacted several like-minded individuals and together they decided to stage Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". This was quite an undertaking, as there was no theatre, no costumes, no sets, no lights, and no money. However, through Roy's dogged persistence and the enthusiasm of many people, a cast was put together, sets and costumes found and the local Community Centre was transformed into a theatre. The show was a smash hit! And that was the beginning.  
 
The Player's aim: "To provide a high standard of theatrical entertainment for the South Shore of Nova Scotia, while at the same time encouraging and providing opportunities for talented amateurs to develop and display their abilities in the performing arts". 
 
Be a part of the theatre. We love sharing our world with you.
