The Vespians

he Vespians (short for “Village Thespians”) is an ensemble theatrical company of seniors living in an active retirement community in Central Florida called The Villages. Led by two retired, professional performers, the group has been producing an eclectic mix of mostly original comic theater for community residents since 2018. The Vespians theater company does not charge for tickets, but asks for donations at the door instead. Typically, the Vespians presents their main production in the Spring of each year, with a less elaborate offering in the Fall. All net proceeds of the Spring productions, after expenses, are donated to charities, such as the local Honor Flight chapter. To date, the company has funded numerous Veteran’s trips.
