We have bought the old Knights of Columbus building in Gulfport as of August 16, 2004. It is 7000 sq. ft. inside, has LOTSof room (complete with a spacious loft), a large parking lot, a full commercial kitchen, and a LOT of potential. This will be our new meeting, audition, and rehearsal space. We will also use the newly named Back Door Theater for some of our productions too.
Join our Building Fund Drive
Our goal is to transform this theater into a performing arts center. It will serve as a testing ground for new plays, new playwrights and challenging new projects. The community, both young and old, will experience children's plays, improv, musical variety shows, and dinner theater.
In the future, we hope grants and stipends will enable us to make improvements to the building and provide training in all aspects of live theater ... acting, set design, lights, sound, music, and dance.
With your help, the Gulfport Community Players will continue to bring the magic of live theater to Gulfport. If you want to be a part of this exciting process, send your donations to:

Because of people like you ... Live Theater Has a Home in Gulfport!
The Gulfport Community Players, in in its continuing quest for talent and better plays,is inviting accomplished directors to submit the name of a play or plays (non-musical please!) that they would like to direct and why they think that play would be appropriate for Gulfport audiences. The plays are to be performed at the Catherine A. Hickman Theater, which is a smaller venue theater with 172 seats, situated in, predominately, a retirement area. The plays submitted should appeal to their target audiences, and ideally, should not have been done too recently by other theater groups in the area. These plays will be for their 2009-2010 Season.
Submit your names and reasons to:
