Promise Players Dinner Theater Fundraiser

March 4th, 2024 No comments

Join us for a dinner theater fundraiser for The Promise Players’ tech fund!

Inspector Casey Solved is called to a local church’s bake sale and bazaar. As usual, Lillian “Lil” O’Laydee has baked her famous date nut loaf using her family’s secret recipe. But wait! Someone else has dared to bake a date nut loaf and put it on the bake sale table beside Lil’s! Could it be as good as Lil’s . . . or was her recipe stolen and it truly is a duplicate date nut loaf?! The audience gets to vote on who they think the culprit is!

Seating is by reservation only. Prime seating can be reserved in advance by sponsoring a table of eight for a minimum donation of $300. General admission seating must also be reserved in advance and can be paid for by donation at the door. These seats will be first come, first served. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to showtime.

Thanks to your generosity, The Promise Players has raised over $265,000 for local charities over the past 28 years! Now, some of our sound and tech equipment is in dire need of replacement. We prefer to send all money raised from our shows to the named beneficiary, so we ask you to prayerfully consider supporting our ministry so that we can further our mission of providing Christ-centered entertainment for you and financial gifts to nonprofit organizations in the community.

The Promise Players present: Sarah Mae

January 29th, 2024 No comments

Please join us as The Promise Players present an encore performance of Sarah Mae and Her Kinfolk, a family musical with well-known gospel favorites, from “I’ll Fly Away” to “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”

The setting is a family reunion in the 1930s that has its joys and challenges, like any family would! Bein’s mountain folk, they deal with a passel of characters that bury moonshine in Mason jars in the flowerbeds, marry young, and build their own stills. Balance that against strong mountain faith and a relative that was raised from the dead, and you have the makin’s of one intrestin’ reunion!

Reservations are strongly encouraged, though seating is general admission on a first-come, first-served basis. Patrons without reservations will be seated 20 minutes prior to show time on a first-come, first-served basis as seats are available.

Reserve your seat(s) today, as Promise Players shows are often sold out! If needed, call the church office Monday to Friday from 8:30 am – 2:30 pm at 717-464-2050.

A suggested minimum donation of $9 for adults is payable at the door. Children 12 years old and under may bring the donation of a canned good or $2 for local food banks.
