Our Story
The Dartmouth Players Arts Society has been a cornerstone of performing arts in our community for decades. What began as a small group of passionate theatre enthusiasts has grown into a vibrant organization dedicated to bringing quality entertainment and cultural programming to our region.
Our historic theatre space has hosted countless performances, from intimate dramatic productions to grand musical events. Today, we continue to honor this legacy while looking toward an exciting future of growth and revitalization.
We are committed to making the arts accessible to everyone, supporting emerging artists, and creating memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.
