Valley Players membership votes to purchase the upper level of the building
Last month we asked for your vote on a very important issue - the purchase of the upstairs portion of our building at 4254 Main Street in Waitsfield. The measure passed and we are thrilled to move forward, working with Northfield Savings Bank to complete this purchase. We plan to offer the space for rent to local community groups or for private functions as well as to use it ourselves for much needed storage space, additional rehearsal space and possibly even performances.
The safety upgrade work continues in the building on schedule. We are putting together our 2027 season and ask you to watch your mailbox for exciting news and updates coming next month.
We truly appreciate your support!
The Valley Players Announce
A Temporary Pause for Theater Improvements
The Board of the Valley Players has decided to pause production activities at the theater beginning in January to focus on building repairs and safety upgrades. We have been working with Vermont Integrated Architects to lead this project.
As part of our safety upgrades, the Valley Players are THRILLED to announce that we have converted our lighting system to cool-burning LED lights! This will be a HUGE improvement for directors, lighting designers, actors, AND the audience: focusing the instruments will be much easier, actors will be cooler on stage, and no more unnecessary noise from the old plug-in lighting dimmers.
This project is supported in part by the Vermont Arts Council and the State of Vermont,
and the Mad River Valley Rotary Club.
​The theater is expected to reopen in 2027.
