The Athenian Players are the resident Theatre Company representing the Drama program at Athens State University. The Athenian Players produce a play each semester drawing the cast and crew from the diverse and talented Athens State University Students, Community College students, and the local Alabama community at large. While the future theatre and home for the Athenian Players is being constructed as a part of Phase II for the Alabama Center for the Arts, we are beginning as humble itinerant players bring the theatre to our community, so that the community will later come to our theatre. Our goal is to continue the long tradition of quality dramatic productions from Athens State University’s illustrious history and to be a beacon for future theatre artists in the greater North Alabama region.
