Poseidon Players

Black Box Theater at Whidbey Playhouse

Attention Actors/Directors/Playwrights!

Have you ever felt the urge to perform on stage?

To direct a theatre production?

To see your original play or skit performed on stage? ·

Do you miss those high school plays you were in?

If so, we offer the program for you...Poseidon Players!

What We Offer:

Poseidon Players provides a supportive, creative environment for local actors, directors, and playwrights to hone their craft. We select short (under 30 minutes), one-act plays or skits that are rehearsed and performed at the end of each session—and everyone gets a part! No experience is necessary, just a passion for theatre!

Our Style:

Performances follow a Black Box style, with minimal props and no costuming. Actors typically wear simple black attire, keeping the focus on the performances and the stories being told.

Rehearsals & Performances:

Rehearsals are held 4–6 times per session, depending on the script and the needs of the director and actors. Before the public performance, there’s a final “dress rehearsal” where a small group of peers offers constructive feedback to help you grow as a performer.

Additional Details:

Sessions run 2–3 times per year.
All performances are open to the public.
Participation is completely FREE!

Interested in Sharing Your Work?

If you have an original script you’d like to submit for consideration, please deliver it to the Whidbey Playhouse office.

Become a part of Poseidon Players and connect with a vibrant, creative community—whether on stage, behind the scenes, or with a script in hand!
