Ridge
Players is a community theatre group based in Ridgetown,
Ontario, Canada. Once a year, in late winter or spring, we
stage a musical theatre production. In addition, in the fall
of each year, we prepare Christmas music to perform at a
community carol-singing event.
Ridge
Players is a not-for-profit volunteer organization. Any
profits resulting from our various shows go back into the
community. In the past, we have supported the Howard Mutual
Medical Centre, Chatham Kent Health Alliance MRI campaign,
area school libraries, the Chatham Kiwanis Music Festival, the
Mary Webb Centre, the Chatham Kent Hospice and many other
important causes.
Ridge
Players performed its first show in 1969, so the 2019
production represented 51 years of musical theatre for the
group.
After
having no show in 2020, 2021 and 2022, we staged a show in
2023. It was a retrospective of 51 years of performances -
called "Golden Memories".
Invitation
- We plan to do another retrospective at the end of April,
2024 - called "Encore". All those interested in singing who
are fond of Broadway show tunes are invited to join us for
practices on Wednesday evenings, starting February 14, 2024 at
7:30 pm at Erie Street United Church, Erie Street, Ridgetown,
Ontario.
