The Bay Players is a non-profit Community Theatre organization centered in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and serving the Boston South Shore area. Its purpose is to provide individuals with the opportunity to perform and produce theatrical shows and events. The Bay Players produces, on average, three stage productions per year. These include comedies, dramas and musicals. The shows vary every season based upon the interest of the membership.

Bay Players was founded in 1956 as the Duxbury Bay Players and was comprised of a nucleus of actors from the recently closed Duxbury Playhouse. The first production was The Happy Time which opened on April 26, 1956. Since then, the group has produced and performed over 125 shows. After their first musical, Oklahoma, in 1969, actors and singers were attracted from communities outside of Duxbury and membership now includes 13 South Shore communities.

Bay Players has not had a permanent location to call home, but over the years has performed in several communities on the South Shore including Duxbury, Kingston, Plymouth and Marshfield.

As with the original Duxbury Bay Players, anyone interested in theatre is welcome to audition or participate in the production of the shows
