Founded in 1926, the Portsmouth Players have been at the heart of the city’s theatrical life for nearly a century. Since our debut production of The Gondoliers in 1927, we’ve brought a vibrant mix of beloved classics and bold contemporary musicals to life—delighting audiences and nurturing talent across generations.

​We stage high-quality productions at some of Portsmouth’s most iconic venues, including the Kings Theatre, Theatre Royal and our very own studio theatre at The Barn, Milton Park. Each space offers a unique creative canvas, allowing us to explore innovative staging and create unforgettable audience experiences.
