About
Fowl Player Productions

The Fowl Player Productions (formally known as the "First Parish Players") are a non profit 501C3 company that was founded in the summer of 2016 by Bridgewater resident and BSU graduate Tony Winters as a place for actors of all levels of experience to feel welcome and to be allowed to live out their on-stage dreams. It is currently run by business owner and operator Desiree Krebs and to this day, it feeds off the same principle from which it began: that this art comes from the heart, not just from the work.

Since their inception, the Fowl Player Prodictions have produced a wide array of shows, covering forgotten classics, period pieces, original plays, and timely, relevant art which coincides with the events of the world.

Stemming from First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Bridgewater, the Players hold the same values; that all people have inherent dignity, and should be treated with respect.

Each production has its own unique flair, its own sense of intimacy and audience interaction. The Players strive to leave audiences with a new vision, not only of theater, but of the world around them.

We hope you will join us for our next production.

Why the Name Change?

After performing over a dozen shows at the First Parish UU Church, the company is branching out to perform at other venues, including the Cedar Street Community Center in Bridgewater, as well as at its original home. To reflect the group’s expanding footprint, it is time to change the name under which it performs. As of May 2025, the name of the community theater group became Fowl Player Productions.

When searching for a new name, and with the goal of maintaining the initials FPP, the board and membership identified the one uniting element that was part of every production, The Chicken! Since inception, to build community and audience participation, FPP has conducted a “spot the chicken” challenge during each performance (a stuffed chicken – FPP’s mascot – is hidden somewhere in the theater, and anyone who identifies its location is entered into a raffle which awards the winner with free tickets to the next production).

Since their inception, the First Parish Players—now Fowl Player Productions—have produced a wide array of shows, covering forgotten classics, period pieces, original plays, and timely, relevant art which coincides with the events of the world.

Jackie Audet is an arts instructor from Westport, MA. She attended Diman Regional in Fall River where she studied graphic design, then attended UMass Dartmouth where she completed her BFA in Illustration.

Jackie’s art style reflects her strong regard for animation and cartoon art, and the logo is no exception. The design is intentionally playful, to reflect the fun, friendly, and family-like environment Fowl Player Productions brings to the local theatre community.

She has participated in several theatre companies throughout Southeastern Massachusetts, including FPP during their production of You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown during the fall of 2022.

When she isn’t onstage or creating, Jackie enjoys singing, spending time with her pets, and a variety of nerdy hobbies, including cosplay.
