The James Street Players is a local community theatre which has produced popular Broadway musicals in its air-conditioned home at the Babylon United Methodist Church for JSP is in its 53rd year of providiing entertaiinment. Each year we perform two family-oriented musicals or plays accompanied by a full pit orchestra. The Players rely on a broad base of talented and creative local volunteer actors, dancers, musicians, and technicians of all ages. After many years of summer productions designed expressly for our young people, our enthusiastic youth membership now produces, directs, and performs its own summer show.
Our history is a long and rich one. Over the years we have taken pleasure in exposing our audiences to the delightful surprise of the live theatre experience. The James Street Players Ensemble has performed from Brooklyn to Patchogue, including many Babylon Village Fairs, the Babylon Masonic Lodge, and also at various local libraries and for professional organizations. We pride ourselves on a high standard of production and have proven to be an outstanding training ground for our members, several of whom have gone on to enjoy successful careers on the professional stage and in films and television.
The "James Street Players" is a non-profit organization that has been bringing affordable live theater to the Babylon, Long Island area for more than HALF A CENTURY (yes, +50 years!) - always with full orchestration. Every member is a volunteer.
"Ann Kubik's 22-piece orchestra was easily the best I've ever heard at a community theater
in all my decades of attending."
