Proudly playing for 75 years... so far!
A welcoming and inclusive community theatre group, we've been proud to bring the arts to our foothills community since 1951.
We are a small but dedicated volunteer-run non-profit organisation, offering opportunities for community members to build skills in acting and production, whilst entertaining our community in the Adelaide Hills and beyond.
Generations of artists have called Blackwood Players their home. from beginners to professionals, every single one of us have found something special that stays with us, no matter where we go in life.
