About the Theatre
The mission of the Village Players of Birmingham is to produce plays, to study drama, play direction, costuming and scenery design, to encourage the writing of plays and to promote interest in the drama, which shall include voluntary involvement within the community through outreach programs.
Some of the ways in which we achieve these goals is by offering opportunities for adults and youth to participate in all aspects of the theater arts. This includes, but is not limited to, working behind the scenes as part of a production team, writing original plays, and supporting a youth theatre program.
In our typical season we present five (5) major productions annually, which usually consists of of two (2) musicals and three (3) non-musicals. Each production has nine (9) performances spread out over three weekends with shows on Friday and Saturday nights (curtain @ 8pm) and a Sunday matinee (curtain @ 2pm).
