Welcome
There is a long tradition of successful amateur dramatics at Budleigh Salterton. Since the group was founded in 1938, it has gone from strength to strength, finally acquiring its own theatre - the Salterton Playhouse - in 1970. The Playhouse is a large wooden building set next to the stream in Meadow Lane, and offers raked seating and full facilities for approximately 80 patrons.
Although the Club is relatively small, levels of enthusiasm and commitment are very high indeed. As a result, we are currently able to stage four plays a year, with each production running for six performances - Monday to Friday evening and a Saturday matinee.

We have been pretty quite through this little pandemic we are experiencing. Since we have not been able to do and productions we have been keeping ourselves entertained with virtual socials for our members and refurbishing the Playhouse.
However our long time member Jenny Bowden dug up some fabulous photos tonight which we thought were worth a share!
20 years ago tonight we opened the doors for the first night of a run of Alan Ayckbourn’s ‘Absurd Person Singular’.
We can’t wait to be back on the stage and entertaining you again soon.
