A Bit o' History

The Yorkville Players premiered as a local community theatre group in the Fall of 1990, with a production of "The ^New Odd Couple", the female version of Neil Simon's comedy. A combination of the hard work and imagination of its founding members, the use of the excellent facilities of the McCelvey Center, and continued support from the community at large, has resulted in The Yorkville Players becoming a peerless local community theatre group.

Since their first season in 1990, the Players have presented about two productions per year.  The Players expanded their productions with the advent of the Young Yorkville Players.
