James McCabe Theater

The James McCabe Theater, built in 1915, is the only remaining commercial structure from Valrico's own small land boom at the turn of the century. Originally built to house the Valrico Civic Club, it was erected by the membership to be a home for the group and an attractive focal point for the community.

The Village Players is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Community Teaching Theater based in Valrico, Florida, in unincorporated Hillsborough County. The Players train, rehearse, and perform at the James McCabe Theater in Valrico, a building on the County's Registry of Historic Places, built in 1915.

The group offers one to two shows a year featuring children, and teaches acting skills to its child performers. Children who appear in Village Players productions do not need prior experience, and are never charged a fee to participate.

The Village Players have an open-door policy for performers and others interested in the stage, and emphasize teaching all aspects of theatrical performance and staging, including makeup, costuming, set design and construction, and acting.

All involved donate their time and skills to educate, and entertain the public. The group is supported by donations and grants, and is the only one of its type in Hillsborough County.

Our mission is to spotlight local talent, work with those who would like to learn various different aspects of the theater both on & off stage, while providing affordable theater experiences & entertainment for the local community.
