NEW WORKS FESTIVAL PROGRAM

DONATE TO FLORIDA PLAYERS Florida Players is proud to provide an outlet for accessible and inclusive theatre, and we can only do that with your help. The arts is historically underfunded, and our funding is continually being cut. To remedy this, we have opened a GoFundMe to raise money for our Spring Semester and beyond.

Please consider donating to support live theatre. http://tinyurl.com/FPSpringGoFundMe

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RESOURCES Florida Players acknowledge that for thousands of years, the area now comprising the state of Florida has been, and continues to be, home to many Native Nations. We further recognize that the main campus of the University of Florida , where Florida Players primarily functions, is located on the ancestral territory of the Potano and of the Seminole peoples. Florida Players acknowledges its obligation to honor the past, present, and future Native residents and cultures of Florida.
