The AAMU Bulldog Players is a student organization at The Alabama A&M University that is housed in the Johnson Little Theatre, in the  Morrison Fine Arts Building on the  campus of The Alabama A&M University. We create theatrical presentations, full productions, and offer performance training.  Theatre professor, Jill Balch Coon and  Vocal Instructor, Sierra Hammond  lead the organization.  Our Graduate Advisor, Ms. Emilie Harrell, is a graduate student in the Communicative Science Disorders Program.  Bulldog Players are delighted to share our exciting season celebrating “Family”.  We hope you'll join us  “On The Hill” for our great mix of classic and new works.  The Bulldog Players start off supporting our resident Shakespeare group, The Bulldog Bards, directed by Professor Jill Balch Coon and housed at the Orion Amphitheatre, with a 45 minute  - 1 hour production of The Tempest.  The Tempest can then be seen in the Bulldog Players' home, the Johnson Little Theatre for a special AAMU Homecoming performance.  Then, we move The Tempest to the Von Braun Center!  In November, students will write, direct and perform in a festival of 10-Minute Plays -  complete with an awards ceremony.  In February, we will host a campus-wide variety show called Councill the Arts featuring performances of dance, song, rap, comedy and acting. Also, in February we will launch our world premiere of a new touring play that is a collaboration between Fantasy Playhouse Children's Theatre and Academy and AAMU Bulldog Players.  The Bulldog Players end this 2024-2025 season with our 3nd annual Flex Your Film Festival:  a festival of student written, produced and performed short films - complete with - you guessed it - an awards ceremony! Please join our family of theatre “On The Hill”.
