Patron Donation Fund Peoria Players Theatre is the longest continuously running community theatre in Illinois, and the fourth longest in the nation. We are currently enjoying our 105th season! This proud accomplishment has been made possible by the support of our wonderful community. General operating expenses, utilities and production costs, such as set building materials, costume building materials, royalties, lighting and sound, add a significant amount to our yearly budget and are continually on the rise. No amount is too small. Every bit helps. All donations are tax-deductible.
