The University Players, a youthful group of Princetonians aspiring toward careers in the performing arts, was comprised mainly of Princeton alumni and undergraduates, but with some professional actors brought in to fill both men's and womens's roles. The organization provided experience and training for many hopefuls who have in fact achieved success. Taking its name from an earlier group with the same ambitions and who also made great contributions to American theater and film, it provided the Princeton community with some exciting and meritorious summer theater for more than a decade.
