Flint Community Players

A group of local performing artists had a dream. They loved entertaining and wanted to present quality theatrical productions to the Flint community. The year was 1929. What began as "The Theater Guild," was soon renamed "Flint Community Players," and their original dream became a reality...season after season. Performances are staged at Bower Theater, located in the Flint Cultural Center. The organization provides a forum for area artists to expand their theatrical experiences and to showcase their talents. Visit the Community Players online: www.flintcommunityplayers.com
