It was like a scene from an early MGM musical where some eager young actor-in-the-rough shouts, ”My uncle has a barn and there are some costumes in the attic!” that ignited 50 plus years of community theatre in Coshocton. Coshocton County has become home to several wineries and has established the Three Rivers Wine Trail. What this group now needed was a home, what they created was an institution. From these productions in 1942, a small core group of theatre enthusiasts emerged to form what would be known as “The Footlight Players”. Season memberships offer a savings of 8 per season and offer member benefits, including advance ticket sales and annual voting privileges. Tickets for each show are 12 per adult, or 7 per student. Before the first actor placed a foot on the stage at the Coshocton fairground theatre, two local amateur theatre productions had been presented at the Plainfield Grange Hall and Coshocton’s Central High School building. All Coshocton Footlight Players productions are held at the Triple Locks Theater, located in Historic Roscoe Village, at 685 N.
