The National Players Theater Movement was formed on 13th October, 1976 with thirteen members, at the Basseterre High School Auditorium. The co-founders were Clement Williams and Henry “Stogumber” Browne.
The group’s original mission, explained Williams, who became the Producer and Artistic Director, was to use the dramatic arts as a means of educating and entertaining the general population. The NTPM said Williams strives to produce theatre pieces that are rich in cultural, historical and social issues.
The group’s first production was held in December 1976, that time, with three One Act plays-“its Only for a Time”, “Papa Look the Priest Passing” and “Mamaguy”.
Mt. Williams said that though the group had an exception run between 1976 and 2001 after which it became dormant. Their last production was a “Storm without a Breeze”.
