Playwrights@Work (P@W) Spring Shorts and Sweets will return this April. This presentation of six short original plays written by members of the writer's group affiliated with Birmingham Village Players is a long-running tradition for Playwrights@Work.
The local theatre community in Metro Detroit is amazing and the authors of Playwrights@Work (P@W), the writers’ group at Birmingham Village Players, have been warmly welcomed by them.
The Village Players of Birmingham are kicking off the new year with an uproarious and zany comedy, Inspecting Carol, opening this weekend, January 18th and running through February 3rd in Birmingham. Behind the scenes of a struggling theatre's annual slapdash production of A Christmas Carol, rehearsals are at a standstill. Tim is no longer Tiny, Scrooge wants to do the play in Spanish, and their funding is on hold pending an inspection. When an impossibly bad actor is mistakenly identified as the inspector, the troupe does everything to accommodate his craziest wishes. Mistaken identities lead to side-splitting comedy as opening night draws and it seems only a Christmas miracle will save this production! Ashely Lane is making her directorial debut at The Village Players of Birmingham after directing at the Emerald City Theatre and Farmington High School. Lane was very passionate and excited to discuss with BroadwayWorld Detroit her love of the arts and why Inspecting Carol is such a fun and special show everyone should see. Check out her interview below!

The Village Players of Birmingham start their 94th season by checking into the Plaza Suite by Neil Simon directed by Eileen Sinclair White. The delightful comedy takes place in one suite over three acts although the individual characters are unrelated to one another. It is a charming show and a wonderful way for The Village Players to kick off their season!
The Village Players continues their successful 93rd season with the hilarious comedy, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike by Christopher Durang.
This weekend, Village Players of Birmingham staged unique and entertaining original dramas by local playwrights as part of its Playwrights @ Work Festival.
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, the play opening Village Players' 90th season, examines a man's struggle to balance his life between politics and conscience in the time of Henry VIII. At this time, we might want to call the play, 'A Play for Election Year.' Get a first look at the cast in the photos below!
