Penfield Players

The Penfield Players, a not-for-profit community theatre, is one of oldest continuing theater groups in this area, having been established in 1965. The group presents four productions a year — two full stage production shows, one readers' theatre, and one show as part of the Rochester Fringe Festival. Penfield Players are sponsored by the Penfield Parks and Recreation Department.

We returned to live performances in October 2021 with The Haunting of Hill House by F. Andrew Leslie, from the novel by Shirley Jackson, at the Penfield Recreation Center. Seven performances over three weekends from October 29 to Nov. 13 drew great audiences.

Next up for is is The Art of Murder by Joe DiPietro. It opens April 29, 2022, and runs through May 14.

The Players welcome anyone who has an interest in theatre, whether it is in acting, directing, producing, stage managing, props, costuming, or any other aspect of a production. Join Penfield Players for a rewarding theatre experience by contacting us at penfieldplayers@gmail.com.
