Springfield Community Players
History of the Players
Springfield Community Players can trace its roots back to the fall of 1920, with the formation of the Dramatic Society by the Community Club of Springfield. The purpose of the club was to "create and sustain interest in all matters pertaining to the drama." It was an exciting time for theater. Throughout Vermont, and in fact the entire country, community theater groups were being organized. Eighty-three years later, the SCP is still active, claiming the title of the longest continuously operating amateur theater group in the state of Vermont.
The Players are fortunate to have a collection of scrapbooks filled with playbills and newspaper articles from most of the shows produced over the years. The minutes of meetings dating back to 1945 are also available.
