Paradise Alley Players
Welcome to the home page of the Paradise Alley Players
The community theatre group of the
Marion Cultural and Civic Center
Since the City of Marion created the Marion Cultural
and Civic Center in 1974, Paradise Alley Players has
been its non-profit community theatre. We are proud
to hold that distinction. Providing quality, family
oriented shows has always been our goal. We hope
to continue to have your support for the next 30 years.
Bravo to you, our fans!
2012 is our 35th year performing for Southern Illinois
audiences. Our goal is to perpetuate theatre arts in
the area. We do this through our many programs such
as our Playwright competition, the Children's Theatre
Workshop, Summer Lab Theatre, the annual Children's
show, and our family oriented productions.

AUDITION FOR "LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE" by Nora and Dehlia Ephron September 10th and 11th 6-8pm
September 10th and 11th 6-8pm at the Marion Cultural and Civic Center
Auditions for "Love, Loss and What I Wore"
Written by Nora and Dehlia Ephron based on the book by Ilene Beckerman
Parts for up to 15 women from 16years old to ???.
“Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” is about matters of the heart and the closet.The show is a scrapbook of stories about unfortunate prom dresses, the traumatic lighting in fitting rooms, high heels, short skirts and the existential state of having nothing to wear. Accessorizing these tales — which are mostly comic but often sad or sentimental too — are the mothers who disapprove, the men who disappear and the sisters who’ve got your back.
