About us

Kaleidoscope Players is a community amateur dramatics group based in Derby, with members from across the city and beyond.

We've been delighting audiences for over 20 years with our energetic performances of musicals, concerts and award-winning pantomimes. Our members and shows have won several much-coveted Eagle Awards, and we are proud to be continuing our legacy in the Derby amateur dramatics community.

We rehearse on Monday evenings at Boulton Lane Community Centre and Sunday afternoons at Heat Studios, Derby.

Like many groups, we've had a tough couple of years, with the combination of the pandemic and the ongoing issues with performance spaces in Derby giving us a knock back. But we're a resilient lot and are continuing to grow our membership and keep performing for the love of our craft. We're a friendly and positive group and would love to welcome more members into our fold.
