Member Sections
Our junior players regularly take part in local and national events, including the Caithness Music Festival and the Scottish Community Drama Association’s One-Act Play Festival. A proud highlight came in 2018, when Wick Junior Players reached the Scottish Youth Final, a first for our youth group and a landmark achievement for our community. These festivals offer invaluable opportunities for young actors to perform, receive feedback, and develop their skills in a professional setting. |
There’s truly something for everyone. Whether you're treading the boards, selling raffle tickets, organising our wardrobe, or helping with logistics, every role is valued and essential. Our members often take part in the Scottish Community Drama Association’s annual One-Act Play Festival, which offers a fantastic opportunity to showcase talent, gain experience, and connect with other drama enthusiasts across the region. |
Expectations
At Wick Players, we’re proud to have a wide range of talent, skill, and strength among our members. From seasoned performers to behind-the-scenes heroes, every contribution is valued equally. Our club thrives on collaboration, respect, and shared passion—and it’s this spirit that makes our productions so special.
We understand that not everyone can commit the same amount of time, and that’s absolutely fine. However, we do ask that those involved in events or productions show consideration for their fellow members and offer help where needed. Whether it’s transporting materials to and from venues, tidying up after rehearsals, or lending a hand with general tasks, these small acts of support make a big difference.
After all, we’re all volunteers, united by a love of theatre and a desire to create something memorable together. Drama is our shared joy and it’s the teamwork behind the scenes that brings it to life on stage.

Safeguarding is at the heart of the Wick Players, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all our youth members.
We have a number of policies and procedures in place which is all overseen by our designated Safeguarding Officer whose role is to act as the main contact within the club for the protection of children, to ensure that all persons tutoring children are fully aware of their responsibilities and to be the first point of contact for members on any issues concerning the wellbeing of children in the club. For any enquiries or concerns relating to the safeguarding of our junior members, you can do so by emailing [email protected]. |
