The Columbia County Players invites you to more FREE theatre for ALL in the Hudson Valley.

The Crowbait Club is coming to the Hudson Valley! Once a month, playwrights, directors, actors, and audiences gather at Catskill’s funky and cozy Avalon Lounge to witness original 10-minute plays, pitted against each other in a rollicking evening of “theatre deathmatch.”

When: Third Sunday of each month, 7-9 pm.

CURRENT Prompt: FIRSTS

Where: The Avalon Lounge, 29 Church St. Catskill, NY 12414

The Crowbait Club is FREE and open to all. Donations gratefully accepted.

Columbia County Players is a not-for-profit theatre company which brings free performances and programs to the residents of Columbia County and the region at large. By offering new opportunities for those living and working in the Hudson Valley we create integrated theatre audiences as well as diverse casts and crews, all sharing the communal experience of theatre from both sides of the curtain. Our open audition processes and hiring practices rethink traditional theatre norms, considering and cultivating individuals’ potential as well as apparent ability. We believe this ever-evolving process invites egalitarian mutuality and encourages individual expression, exploration and discovery of ourselves together in a pluralistic world.
