Sydney is rich with live performances and creative experiences - support your local performers, directors and talented crew members by heading to these excellent upcoming live performances.

The Pymble Players

A GROUP of 30 people met in 1957 to create a dramatic club on Sydney’s North Shore. These first members included Reg Livermore and Simon Chilvers. This group would become the Pymble Players. Their ‘‘home’ is the 1884 church hall of Pymble Chapel, a place that has been their stage since 1974 – an 84 seat, professionally equipped theatre. Now in 2023, Pymble Players celebrates its 66th anniversary as one of Sydney’s most enduring and successful community theatre associations. Pymble Players aims to produce and perform a high standard of live theatre as well as encourage community participation in a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment.
