Wanting to celebrate the Players' forty years, we are excited to offer a Recital on Mother's Day Sunday, May 12th.

Adults - $20/ Seniors 65+ and Under 18 - $10

This fun, upbeat, holiday production pokes fun at a local troupe of actors amidst a plague during the 1600s, in the tiny English village of "Little Moldingham-on-Cheese". The troupe reaches out to Shakespeare, asking him to write them a play, as they've lost their scripts in a recent fire. As the letter reaches the famous playwright, the "Plague Doctor" and "Royal Herald" arrive to announce that all people must stand 6 feet apart and all entertainment is canceled. The stage manager’s quick thinking finds a loophole that will have the audience laughing from start to finish.
