The Community Players stand today as the oldest community theater group in Rhode Island. Founded in 1920, The Community Players constitution is dedicated to produce plays that “carry the torch of culture to the Blackstone Valley and enrich community life by presenting locally the best that theatre had to offer.” The Players perform a mix of comedies, dramas and musicals and is committed to an “open-door” membership policy. The group’s member performers, directors, producers, designers and audiences come from all walks of life, all united by a shared love of live theatre.
