Masks of Comedy and Tragedy

Founded in 1980, Winding River Players, Inc. (WRP) is the oldest nonprofit, Community Theatre Group in our region.

In August, 2001, the Winding River Players, Inc. began a major reorganization to redefine and focus our vision to bring quality Theatre to the people of our area.

Vision: To
-become a successful and valued semi-professional, non-profit, regional theatre ensemble
-be recognized and sought out for the excellence of our productions
-commit to the furtherance of the Theatre Arts by promotion and education
-maintain a space of our own for our productions and the running of our business

Mission: To
-bring quality semi-professional theatre to the peoples of Northeast Pennsylvania and Southern New York
-promote the value of the performing arts among its peoples by example, education and self-sustained growth through our productions, subscribers and other sources of funding

Philosophy:
The business of theatre is theatre. But to be successful, theatre must be run as a business. We believe a careful blend and balance of the two must be implemented for the benefit of the organization. We also firmly believe that a clown nose or a funny hat doesn't hurt!
