Community Players introduces the theater's new Hearing-Assistance System which will allow hard-of-hearing patrons to better hear and understand the dialogue and music of our productions.

The Hearing-Assistance System was purchased by means of a generous grant from the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation, to whom we are most grateful.
