History

Since its beginnings, the Ti-Ahwaga Community Players have brought quality live theater to Tioga County and the surrounding communities for four decades. Their only motivation being the shear joy of entertaining.  Past and present members of this non-profit organization have provided audiences with drama, laughter, music and dance in well over 100 productions.  1998 celebrated the 40th anniversary of TCP and a new direction for the organization.

The Early Years

Formed in 1958, TCP has staged at least one show a year since 1959.  This has earned the Ti-Ahwaga Players the proud distinction of being one of the oldest  continually active community theater group in upstate New York.  This distinction is especially impressive when considering the fact that TCP has never had a permanent physical location to call a home.  Over the years the group has performed in schools, churches, community halls and hotels. You name the place and we probably either played there or very seriously considered it. That is until now, but more on that later. 

Community Theater

TCP has been able to capitalize on there mobility by involving new people with each location.   TCP truely honors the "Community" part of its name by always welcoming new members, whether their interests lie on stage or backstage.  Though the group is based in Owego, NY its members come from many surrounding communities and are comprised of a wide spectrum of society.  Artists, students, homemakers, business and professionals all work together to make live theater happen right here in Tioga County.

New Direction

In 1997, TCP took a great leap into the unknown and purchased a building which became their permanent home.  Located on Delphine St. in the village of Owego the former food processing plant has been transformed into a quality theater space that is the players wish that all members of the community can benefit from.
