History
Kentwood Players got its start (and its name) when members of the PTA at Kentwood Elementary School in Westchester, having presented a play at the school, decided to keep on presenting plays. So in 1950 they founded a community theater organization, which has been going strong ever since.
The young organization went through a series of home stages—a barn, a pump house, and a restaurant—until 1960, when the players bought an old warehouse and transformed it into a 112-seat proscenium-stage theater, the Westchester Playhouse.

Arrogant, self-centered, and sharp-tongued Jason Carmichael, a successful co-author of Broadway romantic comedies, is facing two momentous events. He's about to marry a society belle and his collaborator is retiring from the fray. Enter Phoebe Craddock, a mousy Vermont schoolteacher and budding playwright. Presto! Jason acquires a talented and adoring collaborator. But then things start getting really complicated. Their repartée remains sharp and witty as their unrequited interest in each other gathers energy during their many trials and tribulations, successes and set backs over the course of several years.
