A little bit about us....
At TAP, we believe that there is no difference between professional and amateur theatre. Rather the distinction lies between good and bad theatre and at TAP, we don't perform bad theatre!
(Hmmm....that sounds a little pretentious, doesn't it? ..... but it's true ....... oh, what the hell, so we're pretentious! And to further that thought, here are some more things about TAP that you might not know...)

A few years ago, a band of intrepid souls decided to head over to Johnson's barn, build themselves a stage, and put on the best darn show ever to raise money for the local orphanage. This, however, isn't their story...
TAP began in 1986 as the West Plains Dinner Theatre, presenting two one act comedies in a dinner theatre setting. As the years passed, the crowds got bigger, the one act shows were replaced with full length productions and people began to take notice of this small group growing in West Burlington. In the spring of 1994, The Aldershot Players were officially born and we've been entertaining audiences ever since.
We perform two shows a year; one in the fall, after Thanksgiving and one in the spring, after Easter. Our evening presentation includes a great three course meal , followed by the show. Our mandate is simple: we perform comedies, farces, and classics (or soon-to-be-classics) for the enjoyment of our audience. Feed them, make them laugh and send them home happy.

We perform our shows at the 110 seat theatre at West Plains United Church 549 Plains Rd. W. Burlington, Ontario. There isn't a bad seat in the place, with no seat further than 50 feet from the stage. (For a seating chart, CLICK HERE.) The back six rows of seats are elevated to help with sightlines. Even the overflow seats aren't that bad!

So you've got this far and you're thinking "Boy, it sounds so great. I'd like to see a show there. But how do I get tickets?" Well it couldn't be simpler, my friend! Call the TAP-line @ 905-381-1441 and leave a message. Our trusty ticket agents will get back to you, let you know what seats are available and help you decide what date is best for you. And if you have any special requirements in the way of food, please let us know and we'll be happy to accommodate you as best we can.
Did you miss the Seating Chart? Here it is!
Ticket prices are as follows:
This is for the Friday or Saturday night performances. Dinner starts at 6:30pm, the show starts at 8:00pm.
On Thursday night in the middle week of the run, we perform a show only night. A little cheaper but no meal. Show starts at 8:00pm
Want to save some money? Become a subscriber! Subscribers get tickets to both productions in our series for $65.00/person! Why, that's less than you'd pay for one dinner at most places. At TAP, you get TWO dinners and TWO shows! Bring a friend and they'll save too!
Please Note! Due to the preparation needs of our caterer, we are unable to accept ticket reservations after 5:00pm on the day of the show.

Don't let the above trio scare you, we really are a fun bunch to work with. So why not come out and have some fun? Best of all, it's FREE! Anyone who participates in a TAP production, either onstage or behind the scenes, gets a free membership to TAP for one year! It's our way of saying thanks for helping out. You get a nifty membership card (which can get you discounts at other participating theatre groups), the TAPRAP newsletter delivered right to your front door and the self-satisfaction to know that, dog-gone-it, people appreciate you.
For those of you whom are a little shy, but still want to support the group, we offer paid memberships at $12.00/person or $22.00/family. Same great benefits; the membership card, the TAPRAP, the only thing you don't get is the camraderie of hanging around with us.
But wait! There's more! We also offer LIFETIME memberships. For $50, you can become a Lifetime member of TAP. Along with the TAPRAPS, you get a special Lifetime member card PLUS your name is added to our Comfy Chair Poster that is prominenty displayed for all to see at our productions.
