Three generations, one porch, and the summer the highway came through.
Reserve seatsAll parts open, ages fifteen to ninety. Prepare 16 bars or just read with us, truly. Nobody here went to drama school, and the two who did are very quiet about it. Cold readers get coffee and the same fair shot as the ringers.
Tell us you're comingWe will teach you the light board, the fog machine, and which floorboard upstage left lies about being screwed down. Ushers and box-table folks see every show free.
Join the crew listThe town raised this grange hall in 1924, and it held dances, grain meetings, and one famous wedding brawl before the Players moved in with a borrowed curtain in 1962. The velvet seats came out of a shuttered picture house two counties over, hauled here in pickups across one long weekend. Everyone you will see is a volunteer. The bank teller runs the light board, a retired mail carrier builds the sets, and whoever sells you a raffle ticket at intermission probably painted the backdrop behind act two. We take the work seriously and ourselves not at all. Sixty-three seasons in, that still feels like the right order.
Ticket sales cover about half of what a season really costs. The rest is neighbors, and it goes exactly where we say it will.
$75
Prints the posters for one show. Every shop window and telephone pole in Harrow's Bend, plus a few in the next town over.
$250
Builds one set. The good plywood, hinges that only creak when the script asks them to, and paint that was not on clearance.
$1,000
Relamps the stage for a whole season, plus the two gels we have wanted for years. Thanked in every program, and we mean it.
The Players are a volunteer nonprofit. No tier? The intermission jar takes fives and does more than you would think.
The Grange Hall, 14 Grange Road, Harrow's Bend. Open in Maps. If the marquee is lit, we're home.
Gravel lot behind the hall. The feed store next door lends us theirs after six, with their blessing.
A hearing loop covers rows A through D, just ask at the box table and we will seat you inside it. Aisle seats are held for anyone who needs one, say so when you reserve. The ramp is at the side door, and the whole hall is one level, stage included.
One note when tickets open for each show, nothing else. No newsletters, no surveys, no just-checking-in.
