SOPA PLAYERS

Exciting News for Our Theatre Community!

The Studio Players is proud to announce our official name change to SOPAPlayers.

While our name is evolving, our roots remain the same. The Studio Players has always been the community theatre department of The Studio of Performing Arts (SOPA). As we continue to grow and expand our reach, rebranding to SOPAPlayers better reflects our connection to SOPA and our commitment to theatrical excellence.

Founded in 1993, SOPAPlayers is a community theatre company dedicated to producing high-quality, full-scale productions. Over the years, our stage has featured beloved classics such as Cats, Hair, A Chorus Line, Annie, and many more.

In addition to our mainstage productions, we proudly present annual favorites including our Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast and The Show, our Valentine’s-themed variety performance.

We invite performers, creatives, and theatre lovers of all ages to join our growing community.

We look forward to welcoming you to SOPAPlayers — where community and creativity take centerstage.


Mission statement: 
Our mission is to provide a welcoming company and  platform for artists to perform and grow within an inclusive, family-centered community. We are committed to fostering creativity with heart, determination, and a shared passion for the performing arts. We are dedicated to creating a space where every voice is valued and every artist feels at home.


In addition to SOPAPlayers, 
Our drama classes will also change names to 
Teen players ages 12+ 
Jr. Players ages 8-11

SOPA Teen, Jr, and Mini Players 

Our paramount goal is to blend professional theatre skills with a delightful and secure learning environment for all participants. Our hands-on curriculum emphasizes learning by doing, making regular attendance and active participation crucial.
The season kicks off with scene and character study, followed by weeks of exploring different acting methods, basic music sight reading, theatrical choreography, and auditioning. Every student gets the chance to audition for a part in the show,
​granting them valuable stage experience.
Beyond acting, our drama department offers a broader perspective. Students can immerse themselves in various aspects of theater behind the scenes, gaining insights into technical roles like sound and lighting operation. They also contribute to sets and props, and some earn the opportunity to take on roles like student director or assistant stage manager.
Embracing the arts opens up countless career paths for our students, making their journey with us not only enriching as actors but also illuminating the diverse possibilities within the field of arts.
