"In the course of a night watching a play in the theatre, you can have a new thought, a new sensitivity to something. And if you change people, you’ll end up changing the society."

 Printable Ensemble Poster

Prov Players, is a touring ensemble of theatre students who develop and share their talent for artistic expression through classic and contemporary one-act plays. These plays are chosen specifically for their meaningful content and to facilitate thought-provoking discussion. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious; they are always entertaining, and present a powerful message.

They are a well-rehearsed ensemble, perfect for high school performances and workshops, as well as church youth events. Their dedication to excellence in rehearsal and performance results in an experience for their audience that will not soon be forgotten.  For a blog review of one their 2010-2011 plays click here.

This team can provide a complete program that can be modified to suit the needs of your event. For example, the team can take care of an entire service or evening event, or provide a theatre performance/workshop for a high school.

Their program usually includes the following components that can be used to suit your event or service:

• Powerful and thought-provoking drama in the form of one-act plays
• Interactive talk-back sessions after the performance with the actors and director, which provide interesting facts about the ensemble and rehearsal process, as well as discussion about the themes and meanings of the performance.

“Very good quality and good sound. They captured our group young and old! They interacted well with the congregation and were very easy to talk to.” – Pam, Rosenort Fellowship Chapel
