Why make a gift of a donation to The Studio Players?
Donations are down by 40% as of November, 2023.
SELF IMPROVEMENT
There are many forms of knowledge that stem from theatre performances. For instance, self-knowledge is instilled in both the performer and the audience, as we have the opportunity to look inward. We are able to see our surroundings with new eyes, and understand how we affect those around us, and opening ourselves for self-improvement.
COMMUNICATION & SELF-EXPRESSION
The Studio Players actors reminds us that body language is still of the utmost importance in communication. Self-expression allows us to explore this language and the emotions that make it effective. The Studio Players provides locals with a platform in which they can express themselves without judgment — something we need more of in today’s world. Like self-knowledge, these performances can remind us how we can work together to better our society.
BRING ABOUT CHANGE
A brilliant theater performance can motivate us to want to make changes in our world. Self-empowerment can be the result of community theatre, which might give someone the boost they need in order to make a difference. By looking inward and gaining knowledge, we are given a new prospective on our environment, which can spark creativity. With these new insights, we can create innovative solutions to societal issues and try to make the world a better place, one community at a time.
FOR THE ASPIRING PERFORMERS
For performers, the cast is a group of people who become your support system for close to 3 months and they truly become a family together. Come show week, they probably see each other more than their actual family. From the moment that the opening night show begins, to the finale bow, the entire cast for, quite possibly, the last time ever, become a part of an experience that will be shared and remembered by all of them for years to come.
