A Message from the Artistic Director

Welcome to Main Street Players and our 15th Season Celebration with favorite shows from the past! We hope that you are enjoying these productions as much as we are enjoying brining them back .

When we open The Odd Couple in May, we will be announcing our 2016-2017 Season. We have a terrific line up and you will be able to pre-order your season tickets for next year then.

I also want to mention that we are beginning our Theatre for Young Audiences program this summer. The first show will be Charlotte’s Web. As soon as the dates are finalized that information will be available. We are very excited about this program addition and you will be hearing a lot more about this in the coming months.

Another addition that we are considering next season are late night performances designed to attract younger adults. Our regular 5 show season will continue to be offered for season ticket holders. The late night shows will be different than those in the main stage season. The plans for this have not been finalized, but we welcome input from our existing patrons regarding any future ventures we are considering for the theatre.

We thank you for all you support over the years. Without you this theatre would not be possible.

Now, sit back and get ready to laugh and have a delightful evening as Gus Klingman and Amanda Cross discover each other in the simple pleasure of “southern comforts”.

Enjoy,
