Mailing List

Richmond Hill Players routinely send out information via snail mail and/or email about current productions and current events. If you would like to receive our mailings, send us an email or call 309-944-2244. Please indicate if you would prefer email or standard mail and provide the necessary information including your name, email address or home address and city, state and zip.

Benefit Performances

Each Richmond Hill Players’ production is available beyond our regular schedule for added benefit performances, an excellent way for your organization to raise money, enjoy a quality show and support your local community theater in the process. For information about scheduling a benefit, send us an email or call 309-944-2244.

Volunteering

Volunteers are the heart of Richmond Hill Players. Set construction, painting and decorating, prop handling, lighting and sound production, costumes, makeup, box office and concessions—these represent just some of the support that goes into each and every production. If you have an interest/ability in any of these areas, please contact us. It’s a great way to meet new people and experience the excitement of live theater.

Please send us an email or call 309-944-2244 and let us know which show you'd like to help out. We can provide the director with your information.

Want to Direct?

Our seasons are selected from play titles submitted by potential directors. Applications for the 2008 season will be solicited in August-September 2006. Directors are asked to select no more than three shows that they are willing to direct; a Play Reading Committee reads all submissions and selects a balanced season. Richmond Hill is always looking for directors with new ideas and scripts. If you are interested in directing, send us an email or call 309-944-2244 and we will send you an application. New applicants will be asked to provide their theater background.

Donations

Richmond Hill Players accept donations of period clothing, usable furniture, fabric or any other items that could be of use in our productions. Since we are a not-for-profit organization, your donations are tax deductible. For information regarding donations, send us an email or call 309-944-2244.

Advertising

Advertise your business, product or service information in our programs. The average season distributes 4500 programs, and your ad will remain in the program for the entire season. Please provide a business card or clean logo with the information you want promoted. For more information, send us an email or call 309-944-2244.
