More than 40 years ago, a group of Zionsville citizens formed the Off-Main Street Players, a community theatre group dedicated to presenting high-quality productions that featured local talent. Five years ago, a new generation of Zionsville and Boone County residents has re-formed The Off-Main Street Players with the goal of offering local actors, directors, and others with an interes
t in theatre the opportunity to use their talents to entertain and educate others. The new Off-Main Street Players’ first production—Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite—premiered on September 9, 2005, 39 years to the day after the original group’s premiere production. Today’s Off-Main Street Players are unique in that the group focuses on encouraging theatre as an avocation rather than a vocation. Rehearsal schedules are designed with the needs of parents, students and busy professionals in mind. Auditions and performances are promoted locally, to encourage those in Zionsville, Lebanon and surrounding areas to participate and attend. Also check out the OMSP page for updates on shows and how to become involved in the theatre. OUR MISSION
The mission of the Off-Main Street Players is:
To enable citizens of all ages in Zionsville and surrounding areas to develop and showcase their abilities by using local talent to the greatest possible extent; to be recognized as an essential part of the local cultural community by producing shows that aim for the highest levels of technical and artistic achievement; and to engage a wide variety of community members by producing at least one family-friendly production each season. By diligently working to achieve this mission, we hope to provide new cultural opportunities and maximum value to our community, cast and crew members, and supporters.
