  • Critically acclaimed, Langhorne Players has built a reputation for expert sets, costumes and lighting, as well as strong directing and casting. Seats to the theater frequently sell out, not because we perform recognizable plays, but because we select new, interesting, or unusual works from the finest Broadway and Off-Broadway playwrights. Our theater company members consider themselves lucky to have the trust of the audience that their experience will be well worth the cost of their seats.

    Through the work of volunteers, this theater has seen more than a half-century's worth of actors, directors, technicians, stage crews, box office personnel, and refreshment servers come and go. One thing has been the motivating force for all their efforts: Pride in having been a part of this magnificent theater company.

  • Langhorne Players is an all-volunteer, non-profit company dedicated to producing high-quality, contemporary theatre that challenges our audiences to see, think, and react in new ways. We aim to entertain and educate by highlighting a wide range of voices, which reflect the diversity of our local and global communities. We strive for excellence in all aspects of our company's work, environment, and attitude. We believe in equality, inclusivity, and positivity among all our volunteers, from board members to ushers to actors, producers, and other artists.

  • Langhorne Players Theater Company was founded in 1947 in Langhorne, Pennsylvania by the late Ed Macon. Following initial efforts to establish the company from an old rustic barn, the Players moved around Bucks County several times in an effort to find a permanent home. They finally settled into the Spring Garden Mill in Tyler State Park in 1976. To make the rustic Mill space into a theater, the company had to install a plumbing system, ticket booth, refreshment stand, stage, lighting booth, dressing room, and a scenic shop. Luckily, the early members were talented in electrical work, carpentry, and plumbing, and this can-do attitude has continued to characterize Langhorne Players' efforts through the years.
