Greg Curtis Northumberland Players, the county’s premier not-for-profit amateur theatre company, brings the best in musicals, comedies and drama to theatre lovers in Northumberland County. The company has grown over the past 34 years from a small group of dedicated volunteers staging musicals in high school gymnasia to over 250 enthusiastic volunteers presenting eight productions in four different venues over the course of a year, including a very active youth theatre program which performs one major Christmas production, and runs drama camps during March Break and throughout the summer months. Home for Northumberland Players is the historic Second St. FireHall. The building houses the Players administrative offices, rehearsal spaces, and a ground floor theatre space recently renovated to accommodate larger audiences and wheelchair accessibility. Northumberland Players also leases the Third Space, focal point for set storage and construction. The Henley Arcade is the home to the Players vast collection of period and contemporary costumes. Mandate The mandate of Northumberland Players is to provide its membership with the opportunity to perform and participate in all aspects of amateur community theatre productions. Northumberland Players presently offers the community two dinner theatre productions involving both comedic and dramatic presentations, as well as major musical presentations each winter. Profits from these productions go to maintain The Firehall Theatre, the Northumberland Players Youth Theatre company, and also to give financial help in the form of donations to worthy causes in our community at our discretion. Northumberland Players actively encourages youth in our area who wish to pursue a career in theatre, or theatre-related fields, by providing individuals with bursaries to assist with further education. 
Northumberland Players received positive feedback from customers for their professional theatre productions in Cobourg and Port Hope. Charlie Brown was a crowd favorite, and the plays touched on sensitive issues, provoking thought and engagement from the audience. The theatre experience was enhanced by the dedication of local volunteers. One customer had a slight inconvenience with ticket arrangements, but overall was pleased with the outcome.
