Schoolhouse Players
The Atlanta Journal/Constitution and The Macon Telegraph call Bartow the smallest town in America with a thriving community theater. But, in truth, the Schoolhouse Players have evolved into a regional performing group that draws its actors and technicians, as well as its large audiences, from a wide radius. The Players, known for their attention to sets, lighting, and costumes, present a full season of plays and musicals, as well as additional concerts, which range from classical to country.
Please note at this time performance tickets are only available at the door.
