The Stoughton Village Players theater is dark,
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...
As a group proud of our performance space and our productions, we are now pleased to offer a small catalog of promotional items that display this new logo for our members, supporters and former casts and crews to purchase. We are keeping costs down with a short ordering window this fall (with the next one in spring 2021), so click on the link below to see what we offer, and order before the September 23 deadline. We have also eliminated shipping costs by setting up a pick-up date at our theater (Oct. 10, 9am-12pm) for you to get your orders. We will be masked, and the orders will be bagged.
Thanks also to Yolanda Staats at 608 Imprints for helping us get the catalog together:

Help us celebrate SVP, Madison-area community theater and local arts.
Annual SVP Picnic
Who would have thought we would be using words like pandemic, social-distancing, virtual school, “mask-up” and contact tracing in 2020? As you know, Dane County remains vigilant in its attempt to curb COVID-19. As a result, the SVP Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the Annual Picnic that was scheduled for August 30th. See here for more info...
SVP Presents: Stoughton Food Pantry
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Stoughton Village Players is pleased to announce that our drive for the Stoughton Food Pantry went extremely well. For the month of July, we collected an impressive 166 pounds of donations -- both food and personal essentials. We will announce how the entire drive went as soon as we hear back from the pantry with our totals. Until then, thank you again to all the folks that donated. Our community is awesome.

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.
