Kaleidoscope
Celebrating 50 Years of Poulner Players

Kaleidoscope was our dazzling, cabaret-style showcase created to celebrate an incredible milestone - 50 years of Poulner Players.

This unforgettable evening brought together past and present members to perform music, drama, comedy, and surprises from across the decades. With laughter, emotion, and plenty of nostalgia, Kaleidoscope told the story of our society’s journey so far, while looking ahead to the next 50 years.

Performed in an intimate cabaret setting, audiences experienced something truly special - tables filled with friends and family, delicious drinks flowing, and a vibrant atmosphere that turned every performance into a celebration.

From our youngest performers to our longest-standing members, Kaleidoscope showcased the very heart of Poulner Players: community, creativity, and the joy of live theatre.

Thank You for Celebrating With Us

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for this milestone event. From the amazing audiences who sold out our performances, to the talented cast, crew, and creative team who made it possible - Kaleidoscope was a shining moment in Poulner Players’ history.

Here’s to the memories we’ve created, and to the many more still to come.
