The Mason Community Players is the oldest continually operating community theater organization in Warren County, OH. Since September of 2021, the group has operated and performed at the Mason Community Playhouse, located at 5529 Mason Rd. in Mason, OH. This year the group celebrates 50 years of “play-ing around” with a yearlong jubilee and shows that highlight five decades of entertainment.

The Mason Community Players continue their jubilee celebration season with The Dining Room, to be performed in May. Gather around and join many different families as they converse, cry, celebrate and come together around the same dining room table. Laugh with us during performances of this “comedy of manners” on May 4, 6, 11, 12 & 13 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 7 at 2:00 p.m.

Following The Dining Room, the group will continue performing with Company in July, Escanaba in da Moonlight in September and Gender Bender 5.0, a musical review in October, and November. Tickets are now available for all shows by leaving a message at 513-398-7804 or visiting the website, www.MasonPlayers.org.

Since its creation in 1973, the Mason Community Players has brought more than 120 productions and 30 original musical reviews to audiences in Mason, Ohio. More importantly, the group has become a family for the community, involving people of all ages on stage, backstage, and as spectators. “From our family to yours, we celebrate 50 years of making it possible for everyone to enjoy theater.”

Mason Players’ May production is A.R. Gurney’s classic work, The Dining Room. The show is a comedy of manners set in a single dining room, where 18 scenes from different households overlap and intertwine. It is the setting for breakfasts, dinners, and all special occasions for each of the families who gather round the table, which was manufactured in 1898.

In the Players’ production, three actors and six actresses will portray the more than 50 characters who span eras, generations, ages, careers, interests, and relationships. The show is directed by Gail Rudolph, with Assistant Direction by Robert Terry. Cori Bauer is the show’s Stage Manager and the Producer is Susan Berger.

The Dining Room will be presented May 4, 6, 11, 12, and 13 at 8:00 PM and May 7 at 2:00 PM in the Mason Community Playhouse at 5529 Mason Road in Mason.

Tickets are  $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and students. They are available here … https://www.masonplayers.org/j30/index.php?view=article&id=20&catid=2.
