St Austell Arts Theatre

Founded in 1945, the St. Austell Players are based at St Austell Community Centre,Truro Road, St Austell. Previously known as 'The Arts Centre', this has been the venue for over 1,500 performances of nearly 300 Players' productions. There are usually four play productions each year, in March, May/June, August and November.

January 2005 saw the re-introduction of the annual Pantomime. The last few years have also seen the introduction of an annual musical in October. A single four-night run - Wed. to Sat. - is usual. The August play runs for 10 nights over 2 weeks, Tues to Sat.. The Summer Plays are chosen with the idea of attracting as many holiday visitors as possible, in addition to our loyal local audience.
