Mission
Statement
NCP,
Inc. is a cultural non-profit Massachusetts corporation known throughout
the Pioneer Valley as The Country Players. Its primary goal is to engage
in the production of, the promotion of, and other related activities
involved in presenting community-based quality theater for the educational
and cultural development of participants and audiences. The Country Players
provide the opportunity for the participants' development in drama, art
and dance, as well as in the technical, business and management aspects
involved in presenting theatrical productions.
Based in Franklin County, one of Massachusetts' most rural areas, The
Country Players have provided theatrical productions for the last
twenty-nine years.
Local amateur performers and technicians of all ages have gained
invaluable training and experience. This has been accomplished despite the
region's low economic profile. Ours goals are to mix community
participation into the theater process, to develop our local talent
resources, and to provide a creative and educational medium.
Since its inception in 1979, The Country Players' activities and its
membership have steadily grown. This growth reflects our ability to
recognize the creative and cultural needs of our area. Membership has
increased from twenty to over six hundred.
At the same time, we feel it is our obligation to educate, and to provide
an opportunity to experience something more progressive. In 1990, we were
invited to become a resident company of The Shea Theater, Turners Falls,
MA, enabling us to enjoy our first permanent quality performing and
audience space
