TheatreWorks Community Players

TheatreWorks Community Players was established in 2004 by a group of individuals who recognized what Community Theatre can mean to this area, including economic development, partnerships, and a showcase for local talent. In the summer of 2005 the group presented the quirky musical Little Shop of Horrors.

A desire to expand the programs offered to the community led to grants from the Harvest Foundation, and the group renovated a building on Courthouse Square in Uptown Martinsville to open a 120 seat black box theatre. The space also houses a workshop and costume area as well as a rehearsal studio, and offers a complete season of plays and musicals. TheatreWorks is a community partner of Piedmont Arts.
