Old Schoolhouse Players

Old Schoolhouse Players is a non-profit community theater group whose focus is to bring quality theatrical endeavors to the Hickory/Washington County area by utilizing local talent and expertise, coordinating and using volunteers in all aspects of production, and training interested people of all ages in all areas of production. The group also actively supports community functions by helping in production areas for special programs and giving benefit performances when possible. Our goal is to present a theater season that has appeal to all age groups, is approachable to people in all socioeconomic levels, and does not discriminate against any individual or group in any way.

One of our most imperative needs is acquiring a new computer and financial software as our version is outdated and no longer supported. We also need to upgrade our phone service to allow us to accept credit cards at the door on show nights. We would like to replace some of our old/tired halogen lights with energy-efficient LED stage lights. Additional speakers would add to the audience being able to understand the actors more clearly. Acoustic panels for our orchestra pit would shield the audience from the orchestra overpowering the actors. Other needs include additional "drops" (scenic background pictures) for our stage.
