Langhorne Players Theatre Company was founded in 1947 in Langhorne, Pennsylvania by the late Ed Macon. Following initial efforts to establish the company from an old rustic barn, the Players moved several times around Bucks County. They finally settled into the Spring Garden Mill in Tyler State Park in 1976. The Mill is regarded as the Langhorne Players' most distinctive theater. To make the rustic Mill space into a theater, the company had to install a plumbing system, a ticket booth, a refreshment stand, a stage, a lighting booth, a dressing room, and a scenic shop. Luckily, the early members were talented in electrical work, carpentry, and plumbing, and this can-do attitude has continued to characterize the Players' efforts through the years.

 In 2003, the theater space was dedicated in the name of a beloved member, the late Betty Davis.

 Fulfilling the dreams of our founding members, the Betty Davis Memorial Theater has been transformed into an artistic space. Audience members are treated to an intimate experience, sitting comfortably in velvet-covered seats. The theater is air-conditioned and accommodates 73 patrons per performance. The front lobby has been transformed into a small art gallery. Through our Community Outreach program, this gallery supports and displays the paintings, photography and craft work of local artists, reflecting the history of Bucks County as a welcoming home to creative people of all stripes.

Although the faces have changed, there is a spirit of dedication and community service that has always been at the heart of the Langhorne Players. In play programs from as far back as the company's first production, evidence of one mission remains constant: The commitment to excellence in theatre.

Critically acclaimed, Langhorne Players have built a reputation for expert sets, costumes and lighting, as well as strong directing and casting. Seats to the theater frequently sell out, not because we perform recognizable play titles, but because our selections are from the finest new Broadway and Off-Broadway playwrights. Our theatre company members consider themselves lucky to have the trust of the audience that their experience will be well worth the cost of their seats.

Through the work of volunteers, this theatre has seen more than a half-century's worth of actors, directors, technicians, stage crews, box office personnel, and refreshment servers come and go. One thing has been the motivating force for all their efforts: Pride in having been a part of this magnificent theatre company.
