About Us
The Pinckney Players have a long, proud history in this community.
Their home, the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Theater of Pinckney, Michigan, played an integral role in the introduction of community theatre to Livingston County and the surrounding regions. You can read more at right. But like drama itself, the Players and their theater are best experienced in person, so what are you waiting for? Come on out!      The Pinckney Players

 The Jane Tasch Performing Arts Theater
Jane Tasch was an educator for 30 years in the Pinckney area. She loved the arts, and she was the driving force behind getting theatre started in the area. The first community play performed in the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Center was her own, "So Melts the Ice." The play was based on a book written by Billie Swarthout. It depicted the history of the ice harvest of the early 1900's in the Lakeland area. Jane Tasch dedicated the show to the book’s author, and it was performed on December 4 and 5, 1981 on the elegant new stage of the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Center.
The Jane Tasch Performing Arts Center was built in 1980 using school bond funds. The theatre has capacity to seat 900 patrons, with 600 on the main floor and 300 in the balcony. The community education complex was constructed along with the gym and pool at the same time. The Pinckney Players appreciate the beautiful theatre and the path that Jane Tasch paved. At the close of every show, we silently leave a single flower on the empty stage to thank Jane Tasch for the Theatre.
