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!

2011 is our 34th 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.

Please take a moment to browse the links on the bar
at the left of the page.  The Coming Events button will
take to a page that links to more information about
each of our shows.

Be sure to sign up for our newsletters.  They have the
information about auditions, coming events, and other
items of interest.  It is the best way to keep up on
everything we are doing.  All of our productions and
auditions are advertised in local newspapers, radio
and TV as well as this website and the Marion Cultural
and Civic Center's website http://www.marionccc.org.
