Central Park Players

Due to the ongoing health situations regarding COVID-19, Central Park Players is continuing to abide by all safety measures instituted by the legislation and health department. Our greatest concern is to insure the health and safety of our patrons and volunteers.

It is with heavy hearts that due to these concerns we have decided to postpone Holiday Chestnuts: A Fun Selection of Seasonal Shorts, Directed by Natalie Carmolli to the 2021-2022 season.

It is our hope that we will be able to resume our current season after the first of the year. As always, we will keep you updated of any changes.

Due to COVID-19, many things have changed this year including cancelling of shows and the annual picnic and membership meeting, holding a Facebook live event to announce the Bess Z award winners, and electing new board members through just the board, not all members. The good news is that everyone who was a member in 2019/2020 will continue their membership in the 2020/2021 season. With all of these changes, we want to make sure you are still in the loop with what is going on.

Our 2019 picnic meeting minutes and committee reports are located here.

For those of you on Instagram, we have a new page @centralparkplayersgh.
