The Deptford Players mainstage productions are on hiatus. See our
main page.
The Deptford Players' Mainstage season usually consisted of at
least one new play, usually selected from plays read previously as part
of our reading series.
The remainder of our season of mainstage productions was made up
of classical plays, regardless of the age in which they were written --
Antiquity,
Elizabethan, Restoration, Victorian, and more. Especial interest will be
given to overlooked plays; plays that are rarely produced but which are
deserving of production.
These classical plays are the history of theatre and of our
culture and, at their best, a study of them is a study of the human
condition.
