The Launceston Players Society is an Australian theatre company, believed to have been formed in September 1926 in Launceston Tasmania.[1] The first production, "Nothing But the Truth" by James Montgomery, was performed in March 1927.[2]
Since that first performance, the Launceston Players have presented a wide variety of musicals, dramas, comedies, Theatre Restaurant, street theatre, play readings and commercials. The Australian Live Performance database lists approximately 170 events related to the organisation.[3]
It is one of the oldest theatre companies in Australia.[4]
The society's records are held at the Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery in Launceston.[5]
