Support the Arts in Stoughton
With theaters dark due to the coronavirus, we need to do all we can to help arts efforts to stay viable and active. This fund-raiser from the Stoughton Opera House is an amazing show at a bargain... and it will help them stay afloat. Stoughton Village Players supports our theater partners during this difficult time and encourages you to do the same. We are lucky to have such an astounding facility here, so help them if you can.

SVP Presents the Final Bow: Stoughton Food Pantry
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. And more THANK YOUS!
Stoughton Village Players is excited to announce the final tally for our summer food drive at Stoughton Food Pantry. We couldn't be happier. The final numbers are that impressive. From July 6 to Sept 6, in just two short months, the theater delivered nearly 500 pounds of food and personal essentials and an additional $150 donation to the Stoughton Food Pantry. Also, as we collected 166 pounds for the month of July and a total of 492 pounds, that means we collected virtually double the amount of donations in the second half of the drive -- the cash donation pushing us far beyond.
We couldn't have done it without all of you. SVP is extremely proud of all you Stoughton-ites and the concern, compassion, and community involvement you all demonstrate. Thank you again to all the folks that donated. Go ahead, take a bow. You deserve it!

The Stoughton Village Players theater is dark,
but we still have some positive and exciting news:
but we still have some positive and exciting news:
- 2021 is the 100th anniversary of our historic theater, and 2022 is the 50th anniversary of our group. We hope to have events with photos, faces and perspectives to celebrate these milestones over the next two years: these plans are on hold for now like all other live performance venues. Watch for more information soon as we find fun ways to tell our unique story.
- We have been working on one element, however, that will set the stage for our next phase of growth and creative expression: a new logo. In this logo design, we wanted a fresh new look that also acknowledged our history which is so much a part of who we are. Thanks to Tracy Behm at Fresh Design Studios for helping us realize our vision. We are excited to present...
Ticket Refunds for The Foreigner (click for more information)
COVID-19 has changed life for all of us in many ways. The same is true for us here at Stoughton Village Players. As concert venues, major sports leagues, and other public events were busy canceling tens of thousands of mass gatherings, we were likewise forced to cancel our Spring show, The Foreigner. Unfortunately that has left many of our ticket holders wondering about the refund of their purchased tickets.
FOR THOSE WHO SUPPORT THEATER AND THE ARTS, HERE IS THE BEST GIFT OF ALL:
Like many in Stoughton and in our changed world, SVP was impacted by the coronavirus. We had to cancel The Foreigner, which was five days away from opening (after eight weeks of rehearsal and set-building) and then our Syttende Mai show (which represents about half our annual income) was also cancelled along with the rest of our beloved festival.
People have asked how we are doing and what can they do to support SVP to make sure we can continue to be a center for local arts and entertainment. We have adjusted our plans and hope to get back onstage for our 2020/21 season. To help us get through this tough financial time, we offer four opportunities for your consideration (see details and photos):
1. Become a member ($20 annually)
2. Buy a dedication brick in the sidewalk in front of the theater ($100 and $300) - See below
3. Buy a chair arm dedication plaque in the theater auditorium ($200) - See below
4. Donate
Thanks to our audiences who have supported us through our nearly 50 years of existence. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Here's the scoop:
$100 for the small brick with two lines.

The nice thing about this gift is that it will be there for many years to come. Perhaps a memorial to a relative or a way to thank them for supporting you. Perhaps your family needs to be part of Stoughton forever capturing this time together. Or maybe you simply want to be part of our wonderful downtown and support the arts.
