The curtain went up on the Foundry Players in 1946. Through the years the Players' quality productions have ranged from the classics to yesterday's Broadway hits, one-acts to musicals, proscenium to arena stagings. Our performances have benefited the Washington Pastoral Counseling Center, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Wolf Trap, and other area causes. Each season includes three main-stage productions and an occasional summer "fling."

We perform in the Theater in Fellowship Hall of The Foundry United Methodist Church, at 1500 16th Street, NW, at the corner of 16th and P Streets, just four blocks east of the Dupont Circle Metro Station.

We have many opportunities for new players - backstage and in front of the house. Behind the scenes activities include stage managing; set design, construction and painting; set decoration and furnishing; making, acquiring, and handling of props; design and application of makeup; design of the lighting and running the light board; making and acquiring costumes and accessories; wardrobe, or handling costumes during the run of the show; and sound and sound effects. The front of the house is equally important. Here are to be found house managers, box office staff, and ushers. There is always room for new faces. For more information, please call the Players Hotline at (202) 332-3454, or contact us.
