The "Straad Players" is a virtual acting troupe creating and performing plays in a virtual world (2nd Life) and making films. It allows participants to simulate many of the activities involved in creating productions and movies without the costs and many of the difficulties encountered in the real world. All of the following roles can be accommodated: actors, set designers, set builders, costume designers, script writers, camera crew, editors, post production,audio technicians, voice characterisations, director, musicians. The Straad Players have been used to facilitiate workshops for personal and community development and in particular the [|Skinningrove Jetty Project] has made considerable impact. The various movie productions made by this group have included performers from all over the world coming together in one virtual world. .
