About Four County Players

 

Four County Players is Central Virginia's oldest, continuously-operating community theatre.  Since 1973 the Players have delighted audiences with a full range of theatre experiences.  Located in a rural area, the theatre is the cultural hub for the community.  Serving as both a cultural and educational center, the Players are well known for their masterful musicals and magical productions of Shakespeare.  In collaboration with the Barboursville Vineyards, audiences are enchanted with evenings of classic Shakespeare performed in the beauty of the vineyards and the majesty of the historic ruins of Governor Barbour's mansion, Virginia's first governor.

 

We are a nonprofit, volunteer community theater dedicated to:

  • Stimulating and encouraging interest in the arts;
  • Supporting charitable scholastic pursuits in the performing arts;
  • Providing for the coordination of the activities of those who are interested in the arts by providing the opportunity for workshops;
  • Identifying and nurturing individual talents in the arts, while establishing standards for quality presentations;
  • Promoting the artistic, cultural and educational welfare of the citizens of the area.


Four County Players provides a real hands-on theater experience for both amateurs and professionals of all ages in all aspects of our theatrical productions - musicals, plays and concerts. Our experienced staff and volunteers bring expertise that encompasses all areas of acting, directing, stage managing, costumes, makeup, set design and construction, lighting, sound and publicity.

We encourage the participation of anyone, of any age, interested in the theater arts to join us and learn under our apprenticeship program.

For over 32 years we have provided quality entertainment to our patrons while we train and nurture our local talent.

We welcome your participation as a volunteer or as an apprentice or as a contributor. Come and make new friends and have memorable experiences as a member of Four County Players.
