Who we are
The Good Ol' Reliable Players work out of New Haven, CT.  We are a theatre company committed to exploring not only works of theatre, but our members' hidden talents.  Anyone is invited to take part, whether it be onstage or off.  We believe in true ensemble work, building confidence and giving individuals opportunities to grow as artists. All we ask is that you bring to the table commitment, a sense of humor, an open mind, and the ability to have fun.
