**What the charity does:** Thurso Players is an amateur dramatic club based at The Mill Theatre, Thurso, in the beautiful Far North of Scotland. Our 78-seat capacity Mill Theatre is housed in one of the oldest buildings in Thurso, part of an old Foundry and mill complex that has been lovingly restored and home to the Players for the last 60 years. Every year we produce several shows covering a range of styles including drama, musicals, revues, comedies, and our Christmas pantomime, which is normally performed in Thurso High School. We have thriving adult and junior sections, with Junior workshops taking place every Friday night during school term time and are regular supporters of the Scottish Community Drama Association (SCDA), appearing in their One-Act Play Festival most years. Adults and Juniors work closely together to produce professional-standard shows throughout the year, and we also run a two-week summer Junior workshop we call Whoops!
