Magdalen Players
The Magdalen Players is a theatrical production and funding body based at Magdalen College, Oxford, England.[1] It is one of Oxford's richest theatrical organizations and assists with the funding of productions containing Magdalen students.[2] It also organizes various events throughout the year, including, most notably, the Magdalen College Garden Show.[3]
The Garden Show
The Magdalen Garden Show is one of Oxford's summer productions.[4] It has traditionally been performed outside on the stage in the President's Garden at Magdalen College or, in the case of bad weather, indoors in Magdalen's state-of-the-art auditorium.[citation needed] It has also been performed previously in the college's Deer Park. In 2014, the Magdalen Players performed their annual show into the college's medieval hall.
