ABOUT
Based at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, the Kenyon College Players produce plays AND musicals AND more - directed and designed by students, for students!
Our mission as the The Kenyon College Players is to facilitate and produce high-quality student theatre on campus. Our aim is to provide Kenyon with a variety of collaborative opportunities to participate in and create theatre that reaches a wide range of student artists and audiences within our community.
We work like a presenting company. We curate our season off of student submissions; hearing what our fellow students want to put on and creating a season that can speak to the interests and intentions of our peers. When KCP sets out to produce a show, we truly emphasize collaboration. Additionally, KCP is the only student theatre group on Kenyon's campus that produces musicals.
KCP strives to produce intentional theatre and to ensure a process and production that the whole team feels proud of— one that sparks thought and challenges everyone involved.
