The Valley Players was founded by Roger and Ruth Marshall in 1983. They brought together a few interested people to do some play readings with the intent of eventually starting a drama group. The reading group continued to read plays for several months while discussions continued on the practical aspects of producing plays. Later in 1983, a one-act play titled The Trysting Place was produced and presented free to a seniors residence.
From that first production, the Valley Players continue to reach out to its audiences and its community with the same enthusiasm that was the catalyst in 1983.
