Help Shape & Solidify the Future of Players by the Sea
As Players by the Sea approaches its 60th anniversary, we find ourselves at a critical but exciting moment. We urgently need your help to continue our mission of enriching the community through excellence in theatre. Our $60 for 60 Years campaign is your chance to make a direct and lasting impact—right now.
As we reflect on the past 60 years, we’re reminded of the tenacity and persistence that have defined Players by the Sea through countless challenges. But we didn’t overcome obstacles alone; we had the unwavering support of people like you, cheering us on and standing by our side every step of the way.
Here’s where you come in. We’re launching a “$60 for 60 Years” campaign with a goal to raise $60,000. Your contribution of $60—or any amount—can shape the future of our organization and make a profound difference.
Why We Need You Now
The Governor of Florida’s recent decision to veto all Arts & Culture Funding from the state budget has left us facing significant financial challenges. Coupled with the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to continue offering transformative theatre experiences is at risk.
In honor of our 60th anniversary, we’re asking for a $60 contribution—a dollar for each year we’ve served this community. Your support today will not only help us overcome immediate challenges but also ensure a bright and vibrant future for Players by the Sea.
Your $60 (or more) Will Make a Difference
Imagine a shy teenager stepping onto the stage for the first time, finding their confidence and voice. Think about the families who come together, share laughter, and create lasting memories at our performances. Picture local artists who, thanks to your support, can explore their creativity and present their work to the community. Envision at-hope students discovering a safe haven where they can express themselves.
Players by the Sea is more than just a theatre; it’s a sanctuary where creativity blossoms, a platform where diverse voices are heard, and a second home for countless individuals.
