Comedies, dramas, musicals, Shakespeare in the Park, and many
more performances are just a sampling of the year-round schedule put on
by the Hamilton Players at the Hamilton Playhouse. Keep an eye on their
schedule of events because you will not want to miss any of these wonderful
productions. The Players has provided live, quality theatre for over thirty
years,building a large supportive audience. This relationship has inspired
many more community members to take the stage and join the Hamilton
Players family. The new vision of the theater has extended to the creation
of a Theater School for children ages K-12, with fall, spring, and summer
programs. This has been a successful endeavor reaching a new generation of
performers. www.hamiltonplayers.com
