Now that we’ve reached our 50TH SEASON, our aspirations from the 1970’s are still as fresh as ever:

The only way is up.   We, the Village Players, evolved from meagre beginnings to the plateau you see today – the opening of a permanent theatre here in West Toronto. But, it is only a plateau, for our horizons lay much farther, our standards set much higher . . . Only you, our present and potential audience can make it happen-by sharing your knowledge, your talents and enthusiasm. We appeal for your involvement; no contribution is too small. Together, we can make it happen.~ Cyndi Gordine, 1977.


Our 5th and final show of our season,THE BOOK OF WILL, by Lauren Gunderson runs from April 26 to May 18, 2024.
