the players club of swarthmore

Went last night on a whim to this local theaterVery impressed! I did not realize that this is a 100% volunteer group until afterwordsGreat stage design, fun acting, and easy to get to. If you are in town, check it out

My husband and I recently rediscovered this gem in Swarthmore. I am no thespian, nor highbrow critic, just an English major (+ more English in grad school + Penn-In-London semester abroad) who knows a lot of plays and loves to see live productions any and everywhere we go. I prefer off-Broadway when in NYC but have seen a lot of Broadway as well. The main stage at PCS does a lot of Broadway titles, but the second stage is for the more off-beat cerebral shows, which we prefer and ADORE! We frequent downtown playhouses, plus Delaware Theater Co, and other local venues. I have to say that I much prefer the quality of the productions at PCS to a variety of shows we've seen elsewhere in recent years, and you will laugh (pleasantly) at the price of PCS as compared to what you get for three times the price downtown (plus parking or train fare). The Second Stage's taste in plays / minimalist sets / styles of acting, are right up our alley and have never disappointed (main stage has never disappointed either).
