Evergreen Players

What Evergreen Players does

Evergreen Players is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community theater organization founded in 1950 in Evergreen, Colorado, and recognized as the longest continually running theater group in Colorado. It produces more than six main stage productions per year at Center Stage Theatre, alongside the EPiC improv comedy troupe (performing twice yearly), immersive special events, a summer Drama Camp for ages 5-18, and after-school and adult acting and improv classes. Its audience is concentrated in the Evergreen foothills community with regular draws from Boulder and Aurora.

The organization operates from two physical venues in Evergreen — Center Stage Theatre (27608 Fireweed Drive) shared with Ovation West and Evergreen Children's Chorale, and the EP Black Box Theatre/studio (27886 Unit B Meadow Dr) — supported by third-party SaaS for ticketing (arts-people.com) and class registration (coursestorm.com). The core technology stack is standard theater production infrastructure (stage lighting, sound systems, venue); there is no proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or public API. Marketing is conducted through the organization's website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and an email newsletter.

Evergreen Players is staffed by four part-time paid positions (Executive Director, Education Administration, Marketing & Public Relations Manager, Volunteer Coordinator) plus a volunteer board of directors. Revenue is generated from ticket sales ($10–$30 per ticket), educational program fees, annual Premier Player donor memberships ($1,000–$10,000 tiers), corporate sponsorships, gift certificates, and tax-deductible donations. The organization participates annually in the Colorado Community Theater Coalition festival and has received recognition at state, regional, and national levels, including a production selected for the AACT National Festival in Rochester, NY.
