Community Players Theatre

Community Players Theatre Non-Profit. All Volunteer. Bloomington-Normal's oldest theatre group. 103rd consecutive season. That is precisely what happened in 1923.

Did you know that a handful of people could change the world by creating a place of hard work, dedication, and artistic beauty? A women's club met and discussed creating a group to perform some amateur theatricals. They wanted the opportunity to display their talents and the skills they had learned elsewhere. For over 90 years Community Players has continued in that tradition.

It’s time for another installment of our “In The Spotlight” series, and we are very excited to highlight a recent member of our theatre, Danny Steffey! ✨

Danny has been a member of CPT since 2023, and has participated both onstage and behind the scenes. They credit some of their favorite shows they've been a part of as "Young Frankenstein", "The SpongeBob Musical" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". You can catch Danny in our summer production of "Annie" playing Rooster, and helping out as a coordinator for our Artgasm event! We are grateful to have you in our CPT family, Danny! ❤️

Have a favorite memory with Danny or something positive to say? Show Danny some love in the comments!
