Theatre for Everyone

At PlayMakers, each season offers a dynamic mix of productions that showcase the rich variety of live theatre.

PlayMakers aims to create theatre that entertains, challenges, and brings us all together.

A Legacy of Theatre in Chapel Hill

For nearly 50 years, PlayMakers has produced professional theatre on the campus of the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill. Founded in 1975, it builds upon a legacy of theatremaking dating back over 100 years with the Carolina Playmakers, a university-led acting troupe. Inspired by the regional theatre movement at the time, the troupe envisioned a transformative combination of professional artistic achievement and UNC’s high-quality theatrical training. Today, the resident company remains at the heart of PlayMakers, made up by accomplished performers, directors, designers, artisans, and technicians, and supported by graduate students in UNC’s Professional Actor Training and Technical Production programs. The company works alongside guest artists from around the world, including Pulitzer, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy winners. Is it a university or professional theatre? The answer is both!

Get Closer to the Action

The unique Paul Green Theatre is a 550-seat venue with just eight rows of seating on three sides of the stage, putting you right in the middle of the action. There isn’t a bad seat in the house!

COMING IN 2025:

Featuring Sharon Lawrence

S. government by publishing both the Pentagon Papers and the Watergate story, Katharine Graham was an abused wife. Her resilience set the stage for her transformation into an emblem of power in the media world.

History isn’t a straight line

Highly theatrical and provocative, this play will completely surprise you as you laugh out loud where you least expect it. Follow two timelines, one modern and one set during the Civil War, to uncover more twists and common threads than you’ll ever see coming. It’s all done so masterfully as only MacArthur Genius Grant-winner Dominique Morisseau can.
