Parke Players
Founded in the early 1970's Parke Players is a local community theater group that produces live stage performances 4 times per year at their home, The Historic Ritz Theater. We are made up entirely of volunteers and welcome anyone who has an interest in acting, theater tech, helping backstage during shows, prop construction, set construction, or the many other aspects it takes to put together a show.
If you are interested in becoming a Parke Player we invite you to come to an audition, meet our directors, and let us know how you would like to participate.
