SMP (Saint Monica's Players) is a theatre company based in Southgate, North London. We have been producing musicals, pantomimes and plays for nearly 50 years. Over the last 15 years we have become a group that specializes in exciting and ambitious projects that are perhaps a little different from your average local theatre group. 

Our next major production will be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which takes place at the Intimate Theatre, Green Lanes, Palmers Green, London N13 in January 2009. Tickets, priced £10 with concessions at £8 are already available from our box office on 020-8367-3938. Our pantomimes are always very popular and tickets are already selling very fast! The show is being directed by Warren McWilliams, with choreography by Fay McWilliams and musical direction by Mike Benyon. More details will follow very soon.

REACH FOR A STAR Sunday September 14th sees the fifth Reach for a Star at the Millfield Theatre. This is a showcase of the very best local talent, so if you are looking for the opportunity to perform at a professional theatre then ring 07979-773829 to book an audition. The previous four shows have seen some extraordinarily talented individuals and groups and is a great night out for all the family, so you are welcome to simply book tickets to see the show.

Last week we performed Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, the classic American musical at the Millfield Theatre in Edmonton, London N18 from 18th-21st June 2008. This was directed and choreographed by Sue Povey, with musical direction by Nick Lacey. Click here for a photo gallery. 

In January we performed our annual pantomime Aladdin at the Intimate Theatre in Palmers Green from 17th-20th January 2008. This was directed by Dave Bowman, with choreography by Fay McWilliams and musical direction by Julie Davies. This was a great success, with shows played to full houses and we have received some very positive feedback. Click here for a photo gallery.

In June 2007 we produced Back to the 80s, directed by Warren McWilliams, with choreography by Fay McWilliams and musical direction by Mike Benyon. This was a very entertaining and nostalgic look back at the 1980s with lots of well known songs from the era such as Kids in America, Footloose, I've Had The Time Of My Life and Total Eclipse of the Heart. The show attracted large audiences, with two (nearly three!) sell out performances and seemed to be well received. Check out the Photo Gallery here.

In January 2007 we performed our annual pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, which was directed by Dave Bowman, with choreography by Fay McWilliams and musical direction by Mike Benyon. The show was a great success, with our highest ticket sales for a number of years (90% of tickets sold).  You can now view a Sleeping Beauty Photo Gallery.

There is an active social life at SMP and this year saw the second weekend trip to Mickelpage in Sussex. As you can see many people came up with great costumes on the S-M-P theme!
