We Are Merely Players 2026 - The Festival Returns!

The Village Players’ short play festival, We Are Merely Players, is back for 2026!

This year’s edition celebrates the humor, depth, and absurdity of the human condition, through four powerful, theatrical gems:

• The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang, directed by Kiarash Jamshidi
• ⁠Novecento by Alessandro Baricco, directed by Alessio Siviglia
• THE PHILADELPHIA by David Ives, directed by Marc Checkley
• Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, directed by Richard Knapp

Each piece explores performance, identity, and the blurred lines between life and stage.
