Theater Made to Move.

Theater made to Matter.

The Valley Players is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the quality of life in the Connecticut River Valley region of Massachusetts by producing high-quality community theater and related arts education and cultural programming. The productions staged by the Valley Players are nimble, meaningful, and driven by the performing artists of the Valley community.


The Valley Players has no set season; rather, we consider proposals for productions as they arise, factoring in the matter of the budget and potential venues, suitability of the play and creative vision for it, and both artist availability and audience demand.


The Valley Players has no set home; rather, we work to identify suitable potential venues in the Valley that align with the needs of the production, its budget, and its schedule and that provide access to the target audience the production aims to reach.


The Valley Players has no set artistic vision; rather, the board encourages production proposals that embrace and support a diverse and inclusive range of theatrical styles, genres, forms, periods, and modes.
