Picketwire Players Performances
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Performances
The Picketwire Players have performed 143 productions since 1968, 557 total performances including 6 road shows.
Dynamic and Entertaining Theatrical Productions
For more than half a century, the Picketwire cast and crew members have been mounting local theatrical productions from character driven dramas to large scale musical productions to original plays by local playwrights. Equally remarkable is the theater itself: an 85-year-old, restored stone building built by local men as part of the Great Depression’s WPA.
Performances usually occur four times a year in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
