The Valley Players, an all-volunteer community theater group, have been promoting cultural activities in the Mad River Valley for over forty-five years, including production of plays and musicals, education in theatrical arts, and concerts and comedy shows. We value your participation in supporting our productions and events, and are committed to serving residents and visitors alike with new shows and re-imagined classics.​​
Leaders at the 92nd Street Y in New York City launched Giving Tuesday in 2012 as an effort to focus on benevolence during the early holiday season when events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday often command the public's attention. It's a day to flex those generosity muscles and support your favorite nonprofits or charities.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Valley Players welcome tax-deductible donations to support our ongoing work. Thanks to long-time members Shelia Hofmann and Peter Hurley, any donations received at this time will be matched up to $1,000.

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 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.
