Players Guild Theatre is Now Resident Theatre Company at Kent State Stark

ŠćÉ«app at Stark is the new home to the Players Guild Theatre, now the resident theater company on campus. In October, the Players Guild held its inaugural production, ā€œMillion Dollar Quartetā€, at The Mary J. Timken Theatre in the Fine Arts Building.

This summer, the Players Guild moved from the Cultural Center for the Arts in downtown Canton to the campus, where it will integrate new audiences and opportunities to incorporate Kent State Stark theater and music technology students into productions.

ā€œItā€™s a true collaboration,ā€ said Dean Denise A. Seachrist, Ph.D. ā€œWe are very excited to welcome the Players Guild to its new home at ŠćÉ«app at Stark, and we are looking forward to the many opportunities for our students and the community.ā€

The Players Guildā€™s next show is Charles Dickensā€™ ā€œA Christmas Carolā€, opening Dec. 2 and running through Dec. 18. For 40 years, the Players Guild has brought this spectacular holiday classic to life on stage. In this adapted version, witness Dickensā€™ heartwarming story of a changed life that changes the world.

Shows will be at 7:30 p.m. Fridays; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays; and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $28 to $45 each and available online.


Other shows will include: ā€œThe Elephant Manā€ in January and February; ā€œThe Toxic Avengerā€ in March; ā€œMiseryā€ (based on the Stephen King novel) in April; and ā€œThe SpongeBob Musicalā€ in May and June.
