THE FUTURE, STARRING YOU. For 92 years, The Players Centre for Performing Arts has united people across the Suncoast by producing high-quality shows that entertain thousands of patrons annually throughout the area. That, at its core, is the purpose of community theatre – a judgement-free, inclusive stage designed to show locals the benefits of arts and culture regardless of personal background or economic status. The key piece is people, ranging from patrons to actors, ushers and other volunteers, who are dedicated to cultivating an inspirational and creative area for all to live, work and play. The Players Centre aims to shine the spotlight on Lakewood Ranch and provide easy, region-wide access to locally produced live theatre. It’s a plan achieved through the Center Stage Capital Campaign – the nonprofit organization’s ongoing initiative to raise $26.5 million to build a two-stage, multi-use facility in Waterside Place. The Players Centre’s new performing arts home, opening in 2025, will impact more than 60,000 people annually through exposure to high-quality shows that promote multi-generational creativity and broaden the reach of the arts into households previously untouched. The community’s future, ultimately, stars you. Visit theplayers.org to learn more about the Center Stage Capital Campaign, attending The Players Centre’s ongoing season of shows and more.
