August 4, 2022. Naples, FL. The Naples Players (TNP) is excited to continue to move forward in their dynamic 69th Season, presented by Porsche Naples. This upcoming season is dedicated to building community, instilling laughs, and looking to the future. Individual tickets are on sale today and The Naples Players is looking forward to the following productions: Sponsored by Gallerie Indigo, Blithe Spirit will be in Blackburn Hall from September 28 - October 23, 2022. This smash comedy hit offers up a fussy, cantankerous, and spiritual skeptic in Charles Condomine. When the ghost of Charles’ late first wife, Elvira, accidentally materializes, his spiritual skepticism vanishes. Elvira is only visible to Charles and is not letting a little thing like death stand in the way of getting him back… By The Way, Meet Vera Stark, sponsored by Riptide Brewing Company, runs from October 19 - November 6, 2022, in the Tobye Studio Theatre and follows aspiring starlet Vera Stark during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She works as a maid to Gloria Mitchell, an aging star grasping at her fading career. Worlds collide when Vera lands a trailblazing role in an antebellum epic starring…her boss. While Vera’s portrayal of a slave turns out to be groundbreaking, decades later scholars and film buffs still grapple with the actress’ legacy in Hollywood and the impact that race had on her controversial career… In Blackburn Hall from November 23 - December 18, 2022, A Christmas Carol: the Musical features the classic tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge and his ghostly encounters. Sponsored by Lake Michigan Credit Union, this spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens’ masterpiece enjoyed more than a decade-long run at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Audience members will also be treated to complimentary admission to our highly anticipated Trees and Teas Festival. Sponsored by Trulucks, Southern Comforts runs from November 30 to December 18, 2022 in the Tobye Studio Theatre. In a sprawling New Jersey Victorian, a taciturn Yankee widower and a vivacious grandmother from Tennessee find what they least expected - a second chance at love. Told with warmth and perceptive humor, this off-Broadway success is an affecting, late-in-life journey of compromise and rejuvenation, of personal risk and the rewards of change. From January 11 - February 5, 2023, The Game’s Afoot will be in Blackburn Hall. Sponsored by Gulf Coast International Properties, this play tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, who has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Sponsored by Neubek Photographers and featuring cherished songs by Rodgers & Hammerstein, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” and “My Favorite Things,” The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. In Blackburn Hall from March 1 - April 2, 2023, the story follows an exuberant young governess who brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power. CEO/Artistic Director, Bryce Alexander, says, “I’m thrilled to be working with my team and our incredible volunteers to offer the community another fabulous season of live theatre. Our productions reflect incredible local talent, and our enthusiastic audiences are a demonstration of the vital and exciting role the arts play in Naples.” Next up for The Naples Players KidzAct is a timeless story full of spirit and heart, Disney’s Newsies JR. This production is inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City. In Blackburn Hall from December 10 - 19, 2022, the powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense and charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon will be performed outside on the Baker Stage from April 14 - April 16, 2023. In this fast-paced, rollicking ride, the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads as several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories from classics like Snow White to more obscure stories like The Devil’s Grandmother. From May 13 - May 16, 2023, The Drowsy Chaperonefeatures a die-hard theatre fan who plays his favorite cast album of a fictitious 1928 musical and watches the characters come to life in this hilarious musical farce. During the 2022-2023 Season, The Naples Players will also feature new plays by their Readers Theatre program. It Takes Two to Tango(October 9, 2022), That’s What Dreams are Made of (November 13, 2022), Annual New Play Festival (January 22, 2023), and Taking Chances (April 16, 2023).
