Belfry Players, Theater venue in Delavan, Wisconsin, US.
The Belfry Players is a theater venue occupying a former church building in Delavan, Wisconsin, with a stage and audience seating for productions. The space hosts both theatrical performances and musical events throughout the year.
Founded in 1935 as Wisconsin's first summer stock theater, the venue operated continuously and became known for launching the early careers of many performers. The theater maintained its programming until 1969 before evolving into its current form.
The theater draws audiences from across the region and hosts productions that celebrate both classic and contemporary dramatic works. Local patrons have supported this venue for generations as a gathering place for theater lovers.
Visitors should arrive early before performances, as seating is limited and can fill quickly during popular shows. It is helpful to check the current production schedule in advance to plan your visit.
The building began as a church structure, and in its early theatrical years, a bell from the roof would ring to announce when performances were about to start. This detail reflects how the space transformed while maintaining a connection to its original purpose.
