In November, 1981, the State of Florida granted a Charter to the Gulfport Community Players, Inc., designating us as a Not-for-Profit organization. As of Dec. 2003, we have had a 501(C)(3) tax status.
We are a completely separate entity from the City of Gulfport, but we do, however, rent the Catherine A. Hickman Theater of Gulfport for our mainstage performances.
All of our mainstage productions are currently performed at the Catherine A. Hickman Theater of Gulfport. This theater is entirely owned and operated by the City of Gulfport, Florida. It is locatedat 5501- 27th Avenue South in Gulfport, FL. We rent this theater for our performances from the City.
The casts have been selected and rehearsals have started on our always popular Summer One Act Festival. Our Festival this year will consist of 9 short one-act plays that you have positively never seen before.
Using a cast of 35 and directed by a total of 6 different directors, this year's Festival should prove to be better than ever!
Join the crowds at the Hickman Theater for another great summer event in Gulfport!
The Festival will run from July 9th through July 19th. Get your tickets ASAP and prepare to be entertained!
We need 'Cathy Awards'
