This year’s production Old Talent Time is written and performed by local talent and features popular band The River Rats.

Tickets cost $40 including a dinner and show and are available at the Canowindra Services Club.

As well as Friday’s premiere, shows will be performed on Saturday, July 21, Thursday, July 26 and Friday, July 27.

A matinee performance is on Sunday, July 22 and tickets are $10 available at the door.

This year the Players are raising money for a Community Scholarship Fund to benefit the town’s youth.

Foundation member Peter Stacey told the Canowindra News earlier this year how important it is to invest in the town’s young people.

“Independent research shows that for every dollar invested in our work a return of $3.10 is created in social value, changing the lives of young Australians, their families and their communities,” Mr Stacey said.

“Over 90 per cent of our grant recipients go on to complete the course or training for which they are funded.

“By investing in these young people we are investing in their future and in the future of rural and regional Australia.

“It’s fantastic what some of the kids can do,” he added.

The first showing of Old Talent Time is Friday night at the Canowindra Services Club.

The Players in 2016 raised a mammoth $5600 which was donated into the community.
