Projects & Accomplishments
The Village Players has been a "work in progress" for 44
years. We are proud of this fact, because we evolve as our audience
changes, as life transforms, and as theatre makes itself over. Also, we
recognize, that Mother Nature, Father Time and Old Man Winter can't keep their
hands off our building! What follows, is a list of the strides we've made,
and the projects that we would like to undertake. Of course, as we've said before, we operate on what shows bring in and loyal & generous patrons donate.
All of our projects cost money (and lots of it) so if you would like to make a donation, we are a
501(c)(3) organization, we'd be happy to give you a receipt so you can write it off, please see someone in our box office.
