WELCOME

Welcome to the official web site of Old Colony Players, Inc., a site designed to inform visitors of the history of Old Colony Players and allow them to get information about upcoming events taking place.

Old Colony Players represents art in its purest form. A collection of largely volunteer actors and actresses who wish to showcase their talents before an appreciative audience. Our mission is to provide quality entertainment for a reasonable price and we are always considering new opportunities for doing so.

If you are interested in acting, you could audition for a part in an upcoming play or take part in our Theater Workshops. If you'd like to help guide OCP into the future and have a hand in bringing entertainment to your fellow citizens, you could serve on our Board of Directors. And of course we could always use your financial support through a membership or season ticket purchase or by buying some of our specially chosen merchandise.
