North Carolina's Longest Running Shakespeare Festival - celebrating 46 years of producing theatre under the stars!
With Shakespeare as our touchstone, inspiration, and most-produced playwright, the Montford Park Players adhere to the highest standards of professional theatre while inculcating the best values of community theatre. Our repertoire includes Shakespeare and his contemporaries, other classical authors, modern masterworks, and original scripts. Our productions are free to the public whenever possible, and the majority of our season is presented in an informal outdoor setting. We encourage participation onstage, backstage, and in the audience by people of all ages and backgrounds, and celebrate diversity. We provide educational opportunities for developing artists, technicians, administrators, board members, and the community. We commit to clear communication and responsiveness, from artistic planning to financial management and governance, and we cooperate as fully as possible with other theatre groups and civic organizations.
