The Naples Players

Mission Statement

The Naples Players continually seeks to enrich, educate and entertain our community through a superior theatre experience. We are a premier community theatre, seeking to inspire passion for the performing arts through unparalleled access to the process, experience, and conversations surrounding the arts and our community.

Organizational Overview

During COVID19, The Naples Players was heralded as the “Defender of the Arts” by Gulfshore Life Magazine as the organization maintained its staff and programs, instead pivoting to provide new virtual programs dedicated to social wellness, mental health, and community building. Despite losses in excess of $1.2m, the organization soldiered on to use the costume shop to build masks for the local hospitals, custom designed intubation boxes, and more. Looking to the future, The Naples Players is going to play a critical role in supporting the economic vitality of 5th Ave South and ensuring the revitalization of the restaurants and businesses that rely on theatre patrons to succeed.
