History
The Village Players began as a fundraiser in 1947. A sub-group of the Crooked Billet Club, the Junior Neighbors Club, has such good success with the fundraiser that they organized the theatre. Originally, the productions were held in the Hatboro High School auditorium. When the need for their own venue arose, the players purchased the dairy barn and renovated it to a theatre.The following photos are of the original players.
62nd SEASON (2009-2010) ANNOUNCED
A Piece of My Heart by Shirley Lauro
October 9,10,11, 16,17,18, 23, 24
Directed by Jeff Cronin
This is a powerful, true drama of six women who went to Viet Nam -- five nurses and a country western singer booked by an unscrupulous agent to entertain the troops. The play portrays each young woman before, during, and after her tour in the war torn jungle and ends as each leaves a personal token at The Wall in Washington.
Three Bags Full by Jerome Chodorov
January 8,9,10, 15,16,17, 22, 23
Directed by Fran Carroll
A bright French farce about a greedy merchant who finds himself snookered into being a matchmaker for two daughters, one the child of his wife and the other the maid's offspring. Rebellious young ladies, a comely new maid, pregnant ladies and mistaken identities lead to explosive hilarity. A larcenous employee who has embezzled half a million dollars even offers to return it for a managerial position and the daughter's hand. Half of the loot is in diamonds and half in cash the stashes in separate but identical bags. A third identical bag contains the maid's skivvies.
Earth and Sky
by Douglas Post
March 12,13,14,19,20,21, 26,27
Directed by Bob DeMarco
EARTH AND SKY is a poetic thriller about a would-be poet and part-time librarian named Sara McKeon whose lover of ten weeks, David Ames, is found dead one hot August morning in the city of Chicago. It appears that David, owner and manager of an expensive art-deco restaurant, may have been involved in several illicit activities including kidnapping, rape and murder. Unable to believe that the man she gave her heart to was a killer, and outraged that the police seem to have closed the book on the case, Sara begins her own investigation of the crime and is led deeper and deeper through the urban labyrinth into the contemporary underworld. As the detective story moves forward in time, scenes from the love affair take us back to the moment when Sara and David first met. Finally the plots converge, and Sara finds herself face to face with the person who murdered her beloved.
Out of Order by Ray Cooney

Directed by Ron Green
When Richard Willey, a government junior minister, plans to spend the evening with Jane Worthington, one of the opposition's typists, things go disastrously wrong in this hugely successful sequel to Two into One.
Look for auditions and volunteer opportunities to come.
