The mission of the Covered Bridge Players is to facilitate the development of cultural and artistic enlightenment for the citizens of Blount County and surrounding communities. The projects of the Covered Bridge Players will seek to stimulate, educate, and entertain the audience by providing an opportunity to inspire, nurture, challenge, and enpower the artist to bridge the chasm between the consumer of the arts and the artist. The Covered Bridge Players, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), will accomplish its mission by:

• Producing two or more theatrical productions of quality per year
• Create opportunities for community participation in theatrical productions
• Celebrate the significance of the dramatic performing arts
• Provide hands-on learning experiences in theatre production

Who We Are

In March of 2013, a rogue group of actors staged a show for Blount County patrons at Charlie B's. All profits benefitted the Summer Reading Program at the Oneonta Public Library.

That's all it took! In a little over a year, not only was Covered Bridge Players born - it named a Board of Directors, Artistic and Managing Directors, and completed an Inaugural Season. We now have our eyes set on a permanent location.

We can't wait to show you what we've been doing and we can't wait for you to get involved.

Want to Help CBP ?

 We always need building material & tools (2x4s, plywood, screws, paint, etc.), period style clothing items (1900s-2000s), black material (old curtains, sheets, etc.), makeup, old furniture, batteries, plastic storage bins and cleaning supplies (garbage bags, paper towels, etc.).
