There is so much more to a Playmaker’s production than what you see as a member of the audience on the stage during a performance. It is through a complex weaving of the talents of a diverse group of individuals that what is seen on the stage is brought to life. Each role is equally as important as the next. Roles such as: The directors who oversee all aspects of the creative process using their artistic interpretation of the script in order to bring about a cohesive and compelling play. The light and sound techs who ensure you can see and hear what’s happening on the stage. The stage managers and their assistants backstage who work together guiding the actors onto the stage, verify props are pre-set or are taken by the actors, and are the primary point of contact between the director, cast, and crew. Seamstresses, makeup artists, hair stylists, painters, set builders, concessions servers, box office clerks, prop makers, lobby and set dressers, choreographers, musicians, wardrobe assistants, publicity and promotional teams, and so, so much more!

These roles are crucial to the success of not only a play, but the theatre as a whole. The Playmakers welcome any and all who wish to be a part of this community theatre. Our first production was “The Music Man” which opened to the public in 1995, and it is due to our volunteers that we have been able to continue bringing quality theatre to our community.
