Review of The Naples Players

What a gem! 30 years in collier county and I final...

What a gem! 30 years in collier county and I finally went to our local theater. A group of us got together to see our fabulous Naples Players in the show Chicago. The theater is just an exceptional facility. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful venue for our community theater.
Now to the details - There is free valet service behind the theater on 4th Avenue South and garage parking adjacent to the theater, so no worries about walking or inclement weather.
There is a concession stand and I know this is not news, but it is nice not to be charged $5.00 for a bottle of water or cup of coffee. I dont know if it is standard, but when we were there they offered an order ahead option so you don't have to wait in line at intermission. They had our orders ready for us off to the side for quick pickup.
I have been to other community theaters in other cities and I must say this is a beautiful place. It may be smaller but the service provided and the whole experience is equivalent to what I have received at Barbara B. Mann and the Phil.
The theater itself was very nice and comfortable. The lighting and sound were excellent and I cannot say enough about the talented performers. You will be amazed over and over again as you must constantly remind yourself that these are volunteers They put their time and talent together for our enjoyment. They perform and conduct themselves like professionals and the talent is through the roof! They do it for the love of the craft and their passion is evident.
