PPP is truly a "community" theater group. Our productions are staged by unpaid amateurs. The actors and directors, costumers and stage crew, ushers, ticket takers and bartenders, lighting designers and technicians, musicians, and other volunteers could be your family members, neighbors, your accountant, or the kid down the street.
We also have five affiliates with various theatrical missions. They are Possum Juniors, PPP Radio Theater, Possum Point Shakespeare Players, Dreamers United, and On the Edge. To find out more about PPP and our affiliates as well as other projects we have undertaken, please visit our website http://www.possumpointplayers.org

For many, the wild and unpredictable ride of a roller coaster is exhilarating and euphoric, while for others, it is traumatic and elicits multiple phobic fears.
