History of the Millbrook Community Players
In 2006 a couple of Millbrook residents discussed the need for a community theatre in the Millbrook area. They gathered great actors, directors, set and technical people together to form what is now known as the Millbrook Community Players, Inc. The Millbrook Community theatre was created to give all people from the surrounding communities an opportunity to showcase their talent and to bring family entertainment to the Millbrook community.
