Staples Players is an extra curricular activity and an adjunct of the Theatre Department. It provides each student an opportunity to take part in and learn about all aspects of theatre. Drama exercises, techniques of acting and staging, technical work, administrative support as well as actual roles in plays are experienced by participants in this program. The main stress is not placed on any particular area of theater but on student involvement with the program in general. Since this organization presents several productions each year, opportunities for students are many.

The objectives of Staples Players are to encourage and develop greater support and respect for the theatre in a supervised learning environment, to give to each student participating in the program an opportunity to learn and be involved in every aspect of producing a play, to offer students extensive experiences that will not only help them in theatre but promote an attitude of support and cooperation in any future endeavor, and to use knowledge, talent, and hard work to present productions of the highest quality.
