The
Two Names, One
Tradition
(continued)
Today, The Winchester Players are one of the oldest and respected
community groups in the area. We
continue to produce two shows a year, spring and fall with an occasional
mid-winter show or event. We are members
of EMACT (Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theaters) and actively
compete in the groups
annual DASH program where shows are recognized for Distinguished
Achievement and Special Honors in
theatre. We are also members of New
England Theater Conference, StageSource and ArtsBoston.
We are a welcoming group who encourage people of all ages and all
talents to work on stage or backstage, in the front of the house, whatever....just
come on in and have the experience of a lifetime with people who are committed
to presenting quality theatre to the community at large. I would like to think we have done Rev. Storer proud as a group.
He wrote The Players as a group become a most
caring set of people. We care about each other.
We care about presenting good theater.
Although there are fewer and fewer Unitarians involved with the Players
and there are many in the church today
who believe we just come in and use the space in Metcalf Hall, who continue to
encourage everyone to check out and support the Players, support the performing
arts. It was Shakespeare after all who wrote the plays the thing .
