The Castle Craig Players, founded by the late Warren M. Stephan in 1992, produces a full season of plays and musicals each year at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse.
Our intimate, cabaret-style venue, located in the heart of downtown Meriden, invites patrons to bring their own food & beverages to enjoy during the performance. Doors open one-hour prior to curtain time. Due to the size our of space, most performances sell out in advance. We encourage patrons to purchase tickets online, as we rarely have availability at the door.
The Castle Craig Players is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
