A Temporary Pause for Theater Improvements
the Board of the Valley Players has decided to pause production activities beginning in January to focus on building repairs and safety upgrades. We have been working with Vermont Integrated Architects to lead this project. While the building is closed, we plan to continue community favorites such as Cabin Fever Follies and the Mad River Story Slam at alternative venues. The Mad River Craft Fair will go on as usual at Kenyon's Field over Labor Day Weekend.
The theater is expected to reopen in 2027. Phase two of the project - accessibility improvements, including an elevator and accessible restrooms - will begin as soon as funding can be secured. More information on how you can support this part of the project will be coming soon.
Before the repairs begin, we’re going to throw a party! Please join us in celebrating over 45 years of community theater at our Holiday Party on Friday, Dec. 19 from 7-10 pm.
The evening will include light hors d’oeuvres and karaoke, and attendees may BYOB.
To RSVP, email info@valleyplayers.com.
