About the Village Players
The Westbrook Village Players is a
group of theater lovers who work together to produce 2
theatrical productions each year. We present one play or
musical in the Spring and one in the Fall. Opening night is
always a dinner theater.
We are a not-for-profit volunteer
organization that entirely produces each of our plays. Some of
our actors are active in other theaters around the Valley as
well. In addition, we have actively worked with area schools and
retirement homes recreating historical characters and events.
The Village Players have been producing two plays a year since
their start in 1998. I am pleased to say that our attendance has
steadily grown and we have had about 750 people in total at our
Spring and Fall performances.
The object of the Club is to develop
theatrical skills of interested Westbrook Village residents
through workshops and productions, to encourage creativity of
its members, and to increase cultural opportunities for
Westbrook Village. Open auditions are held for all productions
under the auspices of the Village Players.
We encourage those interested to join our
group. We have the need not only for actors, but those behind
the scenes as well. We do our own publicity, set design and
construction, make-up, costuming, props, stage managing,
prompting, playbill/program design and production, acquiring
advertising, etc. If you are interested, we will welcome you to
the club.
Please join us for meetings on the 2nd
Monday of every month (except June and July) at 7:00 p.m. at the
Vistas Recreation Center. See contact information on this
website.
