Description

Townsquare Players, Inc. (TSP) is the oldest active Community Theater group in McHenry County and the oldest resident Community Theatre company operating out of the Woodstock Opera House. Established in 1968 by Bob & Gloria Carr, Karen Wells, Anne Marie Cina, Lou & Mary Harting and Myron & Sharon Wilson; it was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in 1973. Since its inception, TSP and its members, have contributed countless hours and talent, as well as monetarily, to improve and upgrade the Opera House. The purpose of TownSquare Players, Inc is to promote, sponsor, support, produce, instruct and engage in "all the performing arts as well as the various forms of graphic arts" and any other related activities. It is also to engage in the production, direction and performance of educational, cultural and entertaining programs. By providing theatre craft workshops; sponsoring, producing and engaging in publicity events which may include non-member participants and any other performing arts and graphic arts related activities. TSP will continue to strive for excellence and professionalism in all of our productions and undertakings to provide the best entertainment that the community has to offer. TSP's season consists of one musical and one straight show at the Woodstock Opera House. Our season begins in November and ends in March alternating between a straight show and musical. Our style is innovative in that we create a blend of the "tried and true" along with lesser-known productions. It is that style which has allowed us to consistently prosper, grow and learn as a company. In 2004 we started the Phoenix Workshop, which produced the original work, 'A Fork in the Road' by a local playwrite. It is the intention of this group/workshop to be used as a platform for new directors, plays and playwrites. Our policy is that no part is pre-cast. Auditions are held for every role. Interviews are held for each major staff position. If you would like to send a resume for a staff position, email us at the link provided in " Contact Us".
