Supporting Role


You can play a supporting role!

Community Players Theatre is a 501(c)3 organization, therefore donations or portions thereof may be tax deductible.  As a non-profit organization, Community Players can not survive on ticket sales alone.  Ticket income covers the cost of producing a show, but does not cover the repair and upkeep of the building, grounds, or equipment.  Additional contributions are necessary to maintain the viability of this valuable asset in our community and allow us to ensure the accessibility of the arts to every individual.

Accessibility Focus:

  • Continue providing the “Pay What You Can” Preview Performances ensuring that financial constraints do not preclude anyone from attending a show

  • Combat cuts to Arts Funding in the education of our young people by encouraging an exposure to the theatrical arts

  • Providing free tickets to School Day Field Trip Productions to any student the teacher deems needing assistance

  • Changing our lowest cost Student ticket from anyone “Age 6 and Under” to anyone “Age 15 and Under”
