"Could it be that the theatrical magic of decades of excellent shows by the Hovey Players so soaks their little Abbott Memorial Theater they cannot do bad work there? Who says miracles never happen in theater?"

                           -- Larry Stark, Theater Mirror

Founded in 1936, Hovey Players is Waltham's Community Theater. Located in the basement of the D'Angio Building in Waltham, our 52 seat Abbott Memorial Theater is among the most intimate performance space in New England. We produce five or six major events per season featuring a full range of plays including comedies, dramas and musicals. Click here to see our season. -- Click here for more history.

Our mission is to support quality theatrical entertainment and the local amateur thespian. We celebrate the performing arts and artists throughout New England and more directly here in Waltham, Massachusetts. We hold open auditions for all of our regular season plays. See our audition page. We welcome area directors, stage managers and designers but more important we welcome all those who just want to join in, participate and share in this great art form.

We've managed to squeeze into the Abbott a green room, a snack bar and shop facilities. If you enjoy hanging out with actors, or watching or acting in plays and other live events please, stop by. Lend us your applause or lend us your time. We can always use another pair of hands with props, sets, costumes, painting, directing, or just general helping out. We feature local amateur actors, directors, artists and designers. We are members of EMACT, the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theaters. Email us to find how you can join in!

The Abbott Memorial Theater is more than a playhouse -- it's home. This is where we come together not only to create magic but to laugh, dance and love. You will find old familiar faces in people that you meet. Young and old, people from many walks of life. More than a few life partners fell in love in our tiny theater.
