Questions about the Hartford Players
Community Theater
Q: Who determines what shows are
done?
A: The Players Board either picks a show, or approve
a show that a director would like to do.
Q: Do you always do musicals?
A: No. For a long time we did a musical in the
Summer and a drama or comedy as the Winter/Spring show. Doing musicals
requires actors plus musicians...not always easy to do with active
summer schedules. We are experimenting with Winter/Spring musical
shows to see if we can get enough people to act/play for the show.
Q: Are only members picked to be in shows?
A: The directors try to put the best cast on stage
regardless of member status. If two equally talented people are
trying for the same part, members do get preference. Once you are
cast in a show, if you are not a member already, you must become
one.
Q: Do the Players consider requests for specific
shows?
A: We are always interested in which shows people
would like to see in Hartford. We want people to iscover the joy
of live performance in the theater.
