Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare follows twins Viola and Sebastian separated by a violent storm. Uncertain of her place and safety, Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario and joins the company of the Count Orsino. Desperate for the love of the Lady Olivia, Orsino sends his new servant to woo her in his stead. But Olivia falls for Cesario/Viola and Viola is falling for Orsino! Combined with the witty mischief of Olivia’s servants this tale of mistaken identity is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies.

At The Player's Studio we believe that Community Theatre should be for the whole community and BY the community. That means we delight in partnering with people all across the RGV. These collaborations come in many forms and one of the most important is through local Sponsors. When businesses sponsor our Seasons or individual productions we are able to use those funds to create quality performances while still maintaining a commitment to accessible and affordable education in the performing arts. Join the team today and be part of the magic that is theatre.

PRODUCTIONS
Our Season 7 School Productions
Every Season our homeschool classes present a variety of productions for the public. These programs represent the original foundation of The Player's Studio. Over the course of the past seven seasons we have done dozens of shows. Head to the Productions page here on the website to get an overview of all the wonderful shows we have done through the years. You'll also have a chance to see two of our new works: The Community Players and our collaboration with the Rio Grande Valley Down Syndrome Association. You can even see some of our programs, too.
You Can't Take it with You
The Vanderhoff/Sycamore Clan is as unusual as they come - eccentric, wacky and totally inconcerned with convention. With a mother who writes plays just because a typewriter was delivered by mistake, a grandfather who collects snakes and stamps, and a sister who dreams of being a ballerina you can bet anything could happen in this household. When more traditional daughter Alice falls for the bosses son, Tony Kirby, the two families must meet eventually. When they do, hilarity becomes the main course in a dinner party gone wrong. You Can't Take it With You is a classic of American stage and a fun romp for all ages. The Players High School class presented this show with not one but TWO amazing casts in the fall of 2023.
Alvin Fernald, Mayor for A Day
Mrs. Pinkney’s Social Study class has held a mock election and Alvin Fernald has won the day. Alvin gets the chance to be Mayor of his town for one day. He is quick to give all his friends government positions and in no time the middle schoolers have taken over City Hall. Determined to make the most of his position, Alvin gets to work fulfilling his many campaign promises. Afterall, a vote for Alvin is a vote for action. However, in the process the acting Mayor and his City Commissioners are about to discover the underbelly of local government. The Junior Players presented this incredibly funny show in April of 2024.
Little Women - An Original Adaptation
Little Women is the classic story of the March sisters. Written by Louisa May Alcott about an American Family in the late 1800’s, this novel has been beloved by generations and has been adapted many times for both film and stage. This version was written especially for The Player’s Studio and follows Jo March as she reflects on her upbringing. Faced with unexpected criticism about her writing, Jo must examine the lessons her family has instilled in her and her sisters to decide what is most worthy in art, life, and love. It is a story that will make you laugh, cry, and think - a story we hope you will love watching as much as we have loved bringing it to life. The Players Performing High School Group presented this beloved tale in May of 2024.
The Quest of the Four Crystals
The Quest of the Four Crystals introduces audiences to three sisters who find themselves pulled into adventure and fantasy. After stumbling upon a magic book in their local library, Kylie, Alexis and Paula discover the land of Anesta. Their only way home is to collect four special crystals. Along their journey they will meet many creatures and make wonderful friends. However, like any good story, there are twists in this adventure and danger the sisters cannot imagine. This originally crafted script was made by the students of the Young Players Studio. The characters and plot are their creations. The students performed this play for friends and family in April of 2024.
