related activities, than all other forms of “American” theatre combined. Truly, the Westmoreland Players share a rich theatrical legacy with community theatres all across Virginia and the nation, for their contribution to the life and culture of those who actively and passively participate in each season and production.


Thirty Years and Counting…


Having passed the thirty year mark in 2009, The Westmoreland Players has undertaken a monumental renovation and expansion of its existing facilities that has truly enhanced the quality of


live amateur theatre in this portion of Virginia.


For those of you who are not familiar with the Westmoreland Players, they are a non-profit amateur theatre group located in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Their volunteers come from all across the Northern Neck, Middle Peninsula and beyond. Although their permanent home is firmly established in Northumberland County, near Callao, their roots go back to Westmoreland County, when a small but dedicated group officially organized an amateur theatre company in 1979. Their goal and mission was to produce high quality plays and occasional musicals for the community at large.
