What this article is sv to do is to tell Key Wester$ some- thing about the Key West Players so they’: realize that a subscrip- tion membership in this little theatre group is an opportunity worth grasping while it’s still available. % Ee 4 It’s “still available” not becau se of any high falutin’ ideas or high pressure salesmanship, but becausé the number is limited by the capacity of the ‘Barn Theatre —94 padded and 10 unpadded seats per performance! Consequently, for everyone in the city to see just one play, it would have to be put on every night for a whole year and that would be asking just~a little too much of the volunteer, unpaid performers! Legion Auxiliary Gives Flag To And unpaid is correct, too. The Key West Players are a non-pro- fit making organization and not a single person receives any com- pensation for the weeks of hard, but loving, labor they put into each production — except, of course, for audience approval and applause. The opening of the annual mem- bership drive of The Key West Players reminds local theatre-go- ers of the modest beginnings of this group that has long and so successfully tried to keep Key West in close touch with the legitimate theatre. “Instigated” in 1940 by two Na- val fliers supported by a small group of local civilians, for five years the Players hied themselves from pillar to post putting on a show in this plate and a skit in that, gaining such momentum, po- ‘|pularity and success that in 1945 they became an officially incorpor- ated organization. This chartered purpose is to “sponsor and encourage the deve- lopment of the drama and cultural arts in Key West” — ‘a responsibi- lity that has been handed down and devotedly carried out by every administration since. Today, the Players are as snug as a bug in their little Barn Thea- tre at the rear of the Woman’s Club — that club having made the premises available to the. Players in its original state — a stable! But now the “rug,” namely Key West, has grown and the bug rea- lizes it must increase the size of its “snuggery” in keeping with its chartered purpose. This year the Players under pre- sident Mickey Renna, have plans for increasing the size of the Barn and the only way this program can be carried out is through an in- crease in subscribing members. Furthermore, the Players want to present the latest successful players hot: off the Broadway grid- dle and this means higher royal- ties. This too requires the support of a subscribing membership. These subscription memberships admit you free of charge to four of the coming season’s productions, | and make you a member in good standing with the right to vote and take part in the Players’ lively meetings and year-round events. The Players are not only a non- profit group but a non-political, non- sectarian and non-social one as well and an invitation is not need- ed to join. All you have to do to obtain a subscription membership while they’re still available is to tele- phone — but now — either Mickey Renna at 2-3323; Emily Goddard, chairman of this year’s member- ship campaign, at 2-3137; Betty Towner at 2-3511 (ask for Adm. Towner’s quarters) or see Rollene Pollock at the Astaire School, 534 Duval Street. Or just hail any member of the Players and they'll be happy ‘to take your application for a subs- cription. membership! Citizen Advertisements Help.
