To offer persons age fifty and over  opportunities to participate  in theatre

Epilogue Players is a dream come true for the late Bertha Starkus and her friends who felt that there was a great deal of untapped talent and theatre interest among men and women 50 plus years of age, but not a lot of opportunity since most community theatres are geared to favor casting younger people. This group decided to do something about it, and so—36 years ago their dream became Epilogue Players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through a lot of hard work and some financial assistance from the Indiana Arts Commission, she was able to form the group in 1976 known then and now as the Epilogue Players. The first production was at the Children’s Museum. From there the group moved to the Command Playhouse at Fort Harrison at the invitation of the Commanding General. The group remained at the fort for four years until  the new command closed the theatre. This did not dampen their spirits and they kept presenting plays at various churches until 1984, when they were able to rent space  from  Hedback Community Theatre. With funds from their treasury,  funding by Phil Hedback, plus a lot of hard work from the Epilogue members, this space, once just an “ugly duckling,” was transformed into one of the most charming little theatres in Indianapolis. Epilogue is a non-profit corporation and a member of the Encore Theatre Association.

  

It is the goal of Epilogue to present quality theatre suitable for family enjoyment. Much time is spent on selecting the six productions we present for the season.  We continue to improve and update our facilities, and are dedicated to the mission of our founders.
