The Naples Players at Sugden Community Theatre — Attraction in Naples

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.

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 perform and conduct themselves like professionals and the talent is through the roof! They do it for the love of the craft and their...

How embarrassing to already make our selections and have our drinks poured and we're holding up the line and annoying other people because I only have cash. No warning that I saw anywhere. If I didn't known about that before I bought the tickets I probably would not have come! And those poor ladies behind the counter having to tell us no cash when that is all I had or ever will have. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we haven't been able to attend the shows since Ian nearly killed us. Pity because we love the shows but, a no cash policy will keep us from...

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! My mother, daughter, and I went to see “into the woods” last week, and WOW!! What a performance, and oh my goodness, what amazing talent kids all had!! And, even with the temporary change in venue, they have created an amazing set, we felt completely immersed in the story with the characters all around, and I just can’t say enough of the absolute talent and consistent composure these talented, young actors and actresses of this performance!! Within the first couple minutes of the show starting the three of us, looked at each other, all already completely blown away at the realization of what a wonderful performance we had ahead of us that with the Naples Players! 🤩 they absolutely did not disappoint, what a wonderful performing arts company! I look forward to seeing another...
