Season 71 at The Naples Players
Dear Friends and Patrons,
We at The Naples Players are excited to return to our home at the iconic Sugden Plaza and you will be, too! Demand for our 71st season tickets is tremendous! Now is the time to renew or start your advertisement or sponsorship plans with the TNP team.
Our newly renovated theater located on 5th Avenue South in the heart of downtown Naples is opening its doors this spring. You can look forward to enjoying performances in our new 450 seat Kizzie Theater, new 105 seat Price (Blackbox) Theater, and the new 105 seat Tanya & Denny Glass Educational Theater.
Sponsorship for a specific production includes two complimentary season tickets to all nine shows. Advertisements will appear in every playbill for the entire season and can be changed throughout the year as you see fit.
Yes, it’s good to be back home on 5th Avenue! We look forward to seeing our friends and neighbors as we bring live theatre and tens of thousands of patrons with us. We appreciate you partnering with us to welcome everyone back downtown.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Rountree Director of Advancement

Readers Theatre
SEASON SPONSORSHIP: $15,000
A beloved tradition at The Naples Players, Readers Theatre invites first timers or experienced actors who prefer a lowerstress environment. The season features a series of one-act plays, dramas, and classic works that are performed with scripts in hand and without props or costumes in our intimate Price Theater. Play readings are chosen, directed, and cast by the volunteer Readers Theatre committee.
Internship Program
SEASON SPONSORSHIP: $10,000
TNP hosts a highly regarded seasonal intern program that draws participants from across the country. Interns work closely with professional full-time staff members in mounting productions, and are also able to lead design efforts in their area of focus. Unlike most programs around the country, housing is located within walking distance to the theatre, and a weekly stipend is provided. This highly competitive program prepares participants for the many practical aspects of work in a professional theatre.
