Davidson Community Players Season Subscriptions Available Now

Dear Patrons,

As I’ve been settling into my new role as the Executive Director of Davidson Community Players, I’ve been struck by several features that make our organization remarkable within the national landscape of theatre companies:

• Our patrons. YOU. Davidson Community Players has one of the most steadfast, loyal audiences of any theatre company I’ve encountered during my 20 years of producing experience in Charlotte and New York City. And you all don’t just attend the shows. You donate your hard-earned money. You volunteer as ushers, scenic painters, and amateur landscapers. You advocate for us on your social media pages. You enroll your children in our camps.  You connect us with your businesses, enabling us to have a staggering array of local sponsors. YOU are what keeps this theatre going.
• Our staff. If you haven’t gotten to know Cheryl, Katie, Carrie, Krista, Grant, Erin, and Ben, you really should. These are some of the hardest workers I know, and they give everything to DCP because of their belief in the essential power of the arts as a force for stronger community. Come visit us at our new offices at The Hurt Hub at Davidson College anytime!
• Our venues. Given how prolific we are, we need a variety of spaces to meet each show’s demands. Previously, we’ve worked in our own small Armour Street Theatre and the grand Duke Family Performance Hall on campus. In 2024, we’re adding a third venue: the dazzling new Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, which bridges the intimacy of Armour and the spectacle of the Duke.

With this strong foundation in place, I am pleased to now offer our 2024 subscription packages. What a season we have planned for you! Main Stage subscriptions will include all or a choice of three of the profoundly moving Fun Home, the rollicking 9 to 5, the hilarious and touching Ripcord, the resonant and timely The Humans, and the enchanting Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. Frozen, Jr. will kick off our Connie Company season at the Cain Center (insider tip: don’t wait on tickets there!), and we’ll also bring you Matilda Jr. and Dragons Love Tacos at Armour Street.

And these are just the shows. We’ll continue to grow our education program with new camps and new adult acting classes. We’ll return with Boos and Brews and TS3 teen musicals. And who knows, maybe we’ll cook up some more fun stuff.

Purchase a subscription by December 31 (before public sales go live) and receive one Bring-A-Friend ticket for each full package you buy. By subscribing as a season ticket holder, you’ll take advantage of all the benefits your subscription offers such as early seat selection and a discount on single ticket prices.

Finally, please make your tax-deductible contribution to our 2024 annual fund campaign today. You can peruse our e-brochure to see giving levels that come with subscriptions, in case you’d like to bundle your annual gift and show tickets. We rely on your support to remain one of the area’s leading arts organizations. If you opt for a recurring gift option, you can set up affordable monthly payments throughout the year.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. See you at the theatre soon!

With gratitude,

Steve Kaliski
Executive Director
