Story and Memory Collection

Collecting your memories and stories throughout the winter

The Players seek your memories and recollections of our historic stage.   

“We are looking for stories and experiences you’ve had at the Players, stories we can share with others who have loved this theatre’s long, rich and varied history." 

The stories can be what you want them to be – from anecdotes and memories, to favorite productions.  Did you see your first play here?  Or perhaps you had your first date – or first kiss?  Or did you have an especially satisfying experience with the bats?  Were you here the night the lights went out and the actors performed by candlelight?  Or perhaps you remember the Players’ performing in the open air or under the canvas tent.   

Artistic Director Greg Vinkler

Please limit your memories and recollections to between 100-150 words and send them to the theatre by letter or e-mail.  The address is Peninsula Players c/o Memories, 4351 Peninsula Players Road, Fish Creek, WI  54212 or e-mail to news@peninsulaplayers.com.

By sending the Players your story you are giving Peninsula Players permission to use it for publication, either in print or by electronic forms of publication and you understand that the Players reserves the right to make any appropriate edits.

Please contact our box office at 920-868-3287 for more information.
