It is our mission to build community through exceptional access to the power of theatre.
We envision being a cultural hub that leads a shift in the national perception of how theaters can impact their communities.
NEWSIES TEEN 2
This is a transformational year for The Naples Players. During the season, we’ll see the renovation of our beautiful home on 5th Avenue South; an ambitious project that honors our history, preserves our iconic façade, and safeguards our future. Included in the renovation are significant improvements in acoustics, comfort, and technology.
By becoming a season ticket holder to our 70th season, you’ll get first choice of annual seats in the newly renovated Kizzie Theater!
This amazing perk accompanies four crowd pleasing musicals, hilarious comedies, and heartfelt classics that are sure to brighten your year. TNP has become a regional leader in providing high-quality theatre, unparalleled educational programs, and transformative "wellness through the arts" programs. But more than anything, we’re proud to be an organization that centers on building community.
More than 50,000 audience members and 600 volunteers demonstrate that TNP is succeeding in its mission:
TNP builds community through exceptional access to the power of theatre.
Time and time again we’re told about the life-long friends made among our volunteers; or about a student with autism who learned to express themselves thanks to one of our theatre therapy programs; while nearly 90% of audience members say that attending a production makes them feel more connected to our local community!
Your season tickets help support this critical work. BUT…
Did you know that as a not-for-profit, 60% of our total revenue comes from ticket sales to keep tickets affordable? Additional donations are needed to support our education classes, wellness programs, and our continued efforts to build community through exceptional access to the power of theatre! Please add a donation to your subscription to help us reach further and remain community centered and quality driven.
Season Ticket Holders not only get the best prices, the easiest parking, and free wine – they also make our programs possible. Renew or subscribe today to be a part of our exciting future, to see the best shows in town, and to support local theatre.
Enjoy the show(s)!
