NOTICE: Our auditions and plays are
postponed until further notice.
It is with deep sadness that Dover Players and playwright, Greg Lavelle have decided to postpone Greg’s new play, The Truth Be Told, which was scheduled to be performed at the end of October and early November this year. We are still short of lead actors for this play and we prefer to wait until a later date when it is safer to perform our plays and musicals. Greg hopes to produce this play sometime next year when more actors will be able to audition and the winter months will be over. Thank you for your understanding.

2020 Notice
The run of our play "The Boyfriend"
has been temporarily

Due to Ohio Governor DeWine’s decision concerning taking precautions to help contain the COVID-19 virus , Dover Players regrets to announce that all performances for our current production, The Boyfriend (March 13- 29) have been cancelled. We will reschedule this production later in the year when it is safe and when cast and director schedules permit.
