DAVIDSON COMMUNITY PLAYERS
Mission Statement
Davidson Community Players is a non-profit organization established to produce theatre that entertains, enriches, and encourages community participation in the dramatic arts. DCP offers numerous classes, education programs and summer camp programs for youth interested in theatre and musical theatre productions. The “Timothy Biddle Program” at DCP raises money for youth who can not afford to attend these programs without financial assistance. It is the goal of DCP to encourage our entire community to participate in our programs and gain the rewards that art and theatre programs can provide. Part of our vision is to be able to reach those who can not otherwise afford these opportunities. We know our community has youth who have a passion for the arts and if we can offer them the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of theatre we truly feel we will make an impact in their lives and their confidence for future endeavors in life, regardless if it is theatre related or not.
