August Osage County
| When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, you've got a major new
play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.

The Nether
| "As a parable for where we’re headed on that big old highway in the digital sky, The Nether
exerts a viselike grip, while taking you down avenues of thought you probably haven’t traveled yet." - The New York Times

Please note the show previously scheduled for 9/20 - 10/6 has been cancelled
Central Vermont's Professional Theater
We offer some of 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 2018 season is the 12th season for the Players and with it we return to our traditional 3 show season.
This allows us to mix some drama in with our comedy. Whet your appetite with August Osage County and go
even darker with The Nether. We also welcome Melissa Lourie director of The Middlebury Actors Workshop
to our directing family.

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 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.
