The Players Centre for Performing Arts is excited to participate in the 2020 Giving Challenge. From April 28 at noon to April 29 at noon all gifts from $25 to $100 will be matched 1:1. The 2020 Giving Challenge is presented by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County with giving strengthened by The Patterson Foundation.

To raise awareness about the important work The Players does all-year, they have started a social media campaign called #myplayersstory. With a 90-year history, The Players has shared numerous performances with the public, but the impact made by donors behind the scenes is personal. Through the #myplayersstory campaign, the community is sharing how The Players has made a difference in their life whether through a performance, volunteering, or education. Please visit Instagram and Facebook (@PlayersCentre) to read stories directly from Players volunteers. The Players Centre holds a special place in the heart of this community, and it’s abundantly clear when reading the words of The Players Centre family.

In addition to these heartfelt stories, check out some musical numbers and scenes from past shows. The quality and joy in the performances illustrates the commitment to live theatre The Players has provided for 90 years.

COVID-19 forced The Players to close multiple shows and The Players Studio. The financial losses are huge for a non profit community theatre. The Giving Challenge comes just in time to help overcome this crisis and remain prepared to continue The Players mission to entertain, educate and engage through high quality live theatre.
