Who we are

The Strollers are supported by The Maplewood Division of Arts and Culture, and are a 501(c) nonprofit organization. Established in 1932, The Strollers strive to provide an opportunity for artistic and dramatic education and enjoyment for its members and the community. Each year they produce a season consisting of two plays, one musical, as well as a children's theater production in midwinter.

The Strollers welcome anyone with an interest in the arts and a willingness to work toward a common goal, whether onstage or behind the scenes. Their diverse body of performers and patrons includes people of all ages and from all walks of life. Whether you have always been a theater person or just enjoy the fun of working on a creative project, The Maplewood Strollers welcomes you.

Interested in working together? We welcome anyone with an interest in the arts and a willingness to work toward a common goal, whether onstage or behind the scenes. Our diverse membership includes people of all ages and from all walks of life. Whether you have always been a theater person or just enjoy the fun of working on a creative project, The Maplewood Strollers welcomes you!

 Our quarterly meetings offer the opportunity to present a workshop, providing first-time playwrights and directors a forum for showcasing and experimenting with new works and ideas. Workshops also allow actors to perform in a somewhat more casual and less time-consuming venue than a full play may demand. If you have an idea for a workshop, please contact us for more information! We can’t wait to hear from you!
