Central Vermont's Only Semi-Professional Theater

What does semi-professional mean? It means the best local actors and theater technicians that central Vermont can provide.

Dedicated to producing the highest quality non-musical shows possible, the Waterbury Festival Playhouse brings you the shows you won't see anywhere else. Also, we are so confident of the quality of our productions we guarantee them. If you don't feel you've seen a high-quality production, we'll give you your money back.

Our 2011 season is the 6th season for the Players, and we bring you a nice mix of comedy and drama.

Lettice and Lovage

Should life be lived with zest and verve, or is the ordered life best? Find out what happens when the two meet in the most humorous of ways.

Year of the Duck

Sometimes life can take you places you never imagined you would go. Does life imitate art or the other way around?

Don't Dress for Dinner

Doors and underwear: it must be a farce! As usual, the men make the best fools at the hands of those most notorious of adversaries—women.

About Us

The theatre is a 150-seat black-box style theater set in a unique fabric building (sort of a tent, but not really). It's set along Route 100 between Waterbury and Stowe, and is an easy drive from either direction. The parking lot is bordered by blueberry bushes, providing free preshow and intermission picking (in season).

The Playhouse is home to the Waterbury Festival Players, a semi-professional group offering non-musical productions for adult audiences throughout the season.

The theater and its production company are the realization of the dream of George and Ginger Pierce to make this type of theater available to the performers and theater-going community of central Vermont. They are both active in the theater's performances and operation, and welcome you to enjoy the magic of live performance theater along with them.
