Emerald
City Players was created in October 1998. Our premiere
performance, "Steel Magnolias," took place in March
2000, and was followed by Agatha Christy's classic "Ten Little
Indians."
Our second season (2000-2001) included three
productions, culminating with the suspense thriller "Wait Until
Dark," which set attendance records for our young troupe.
We again expanded in our third season (2001-2002), this time to five
productions, including two dessert theaters - a new concept in
central Ohio. The season was capped with our first
musical, the tremendously successful "1940's Radio Hour."
The show featured a full "swing" orchestra, on stage for
most of the production, and was seen by nearly 1000 people during
its six-day run. It was hailed by many as the equivalent of a
Broadway production.
We
completed our fourth season with "The
Fantasticks," an all-time favorite and the longest running
Broadway show ever.
Our
'03-'04 season upbeat and light-hearted with such favorites
as Neil Simon's "Odd Couple," "You're a Good Man,
Charlie Brown," "Stepping Out," the
uproariously-funny "Dearly Departed," Steven Dietz's
thriller "Dracula" and the hilarity of "The Farndale
Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's
Production of a Christmas Carol". With these
perennial classics we hope to even further expand our audience
base. Our shows are now presented in our own space the Emerald
City Theater....located at 6799 Dublin Center Road in the Dublin
Village Shopping,
just off Sawmill Road near the AMC movie theater complex,
Between Tuller Road and the Vaqueros
Mexican Restaurant. |
