About the Theatre
The Possum Point Players (PPP) was formed, "to contribute to the cultural diversity and vitality of Sussex County, Delaware, by bringing the experience of live theater for education and enjoyment to residents and visitors alike." Our non-profit community theater group has achieved that goal annually since April of 1973, and has earned a reputation for bringing to the stage productions that have been consistently well received by critics and the community.

PPP is truly a "community" theater group. Our productions are staged by unpaid amateurs. The actors and directors, costumers and stage crew, ushers, ticket takers and bartenders, lighting designers and technicians, musicians, and other volunteers could be your family members, neighbors, your accountant, or the kid down the street.
We also have five affiliates with various theatrical missions. They are Possum Juniors, PPP Radio Theater, Possum Point Shakespeare Players, Dreamers United, and On the Edge.
