The Lake Country Players

---

In order to bring more great shows to our community we must have the resources. While most of our troupe including actors, directors, hair, makeup and costume designers, set designers, ushers, board and committee members are volunteers (and we are so grateful for their commitment) we still have expenses that exceed the income that can be generated from ticket sales. We must hire experienced technicians for sound, lighting, set and riser construction. We must rent or purchase costumes and props. We pay for publicity, theater rental and play production rights. We must repair or replace LCP-owned equipment such as microphones and stage lighting.

Lake Country Players is a 501(c)3 organization and all contributions are tax deductible. Only a portion of our income comes from ticket sales. The balance of our funding comes from the generosity of donors like you. Frankly, if we had to depend on ticket sales to cover our expenses, many could not afford the cost of the tickets. So please consider joining the LCP Family with a contribution today!

Our Lake Country Players Annual Campaign

---

2025 is off to an exciting start for the Lake County Players. Our acting troupe members are preparing for our first production and we are currently reaching to you to become a donor in our Annual Campaign. 

For each show we must pay: rent to the venue, fees for royalties and music rights, set construction, table and linen rentals, lighting and sound technicians, publicity and advertising, and costumes and props. Past donations have empowered us to enhance the theater experience, such as new lighting and improved seating. This year our focus is on improving the sound system, a substantial investment that will allow us to present larger, more complex plays and musicals. 

Below are the giving levels and benefits.  We do hope you will consider becoming a donor at the Shakespeare Society level. Our Midsummer Night’s Dream event is always an exciting event for Shakespeare Society donors. If you choose not to become a Shakespeare member be assured we greatly appreciate each donor at all giving levels! “

Say Yes in our 2025 Annual Campaign and use our donation QR code today.
