Thespian Hall Players is an innovative theatre company located at one of Missouri’s most iconic venues, Thespian Hall. In fact, Thespian Hall is the oldest, continuously operating theatre west of the Allegheny mountains. Our company proudly continues the venue’s rich theatrical tradition, standing as the direct modern successor to the historic 19 century Thespian Society that first pioneered here in 1855. Furthermore, Thespian Hall Players seeks to deliver a combination of classical, contemporary, and original work to the next generation of theatre audiences.

Honoring a cultural landmark, we are thrilled to reignite the spotlight at Thespian Hall and launch the venue’s first dedicated resident theatre company in decades. Thespian Hall Players is not merely a guest at Thespian Hall; we are a company revitalizing the Hall’s foundation and restoring a lasting sense of theatrical performance to its iconic stage.
