In 1993 a local youth group led by George Alcaidinho contacted Noel and Cecile Rozenveld about organizing a talent variety show. Noel and Cecile, with the assistance of Nicki Clark, Don Goodale, Charlene Pratt and Dominic Haasen, wrote Radio Daze, and the show was on.

The production was such a success that the idea of continuing this type of theatre on an annual basis was presented to a larger group of local individuals. And so, a meeting took place at the home of Martin and Rita Van Geffen. Our local Community Television company, Rogers Cable 12, provided motivation by donating a grant of $500.00 annually for 5 years to assist in startup funding, and the Strathroy Community Players was born.
In 1997, the Players incorporated to increase their exposure in the community as a legitimate operating body. This was to provide a means of more exposure to the community in general and to the municipality specifically as a legitimate operating body. Members of the group drafted a constitution and set of bylaws. On March 1, 1998, the first general membership meeting was held, when the constitution and bylaws were adopted by those in attendance. As well, the first board of directors was elected.
