Main Street Players

The history of this business is fascinating and its success over the years is incredible. The shows are phenomenal and always outstanding. It is not a very big theatre and it is always mind blowing the tricks they do with their sets. Being so close to the audience you see the sets up close and personal. They are always so well dressed and built. The acting is very intimate and spot on. If you are in town or haven’t been to this theatre you are missing out. There is nothing better than live theatre. They just closed their production of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Wow! I was in tears with the actors, it was a beautiful production. I cannot wait to go back!

Griffin is a small but quaint town just south of Atlanta. As you ride into this town there is a small downtown Griffin area that looks like it could be a set for an old movie. Nestled among the store fronts is a little gem of a theatre called Main Street Players. If the town of Griffin is anything like the people who work at this theater then it must be the nicest and friendliest place on earth. I have seen three plays here. The first was The Dixie Swim Club. The show was great. The women were on spot with their line delivery and their comedic timing. The next was Grace and Gloire. I was a bit worried because the first show was so good I didn’t know what to expect. Once again I was not disappointed. The timing and the comedy were there and we really enjoyed the show. The last show I saw was this past weekend called Tintypes. This turned out to be a musical and they had a band to boot. The singing blew me away. So far they are batting three for three. This is a little nonprofit that could and does. They have been around for a decade and there is a reason why. Great shows.
