report - tell a friend

In the fall of 1929, as the financial world was coming apart, two small groups of people interested in amateur theatre production, met and agreed to unite their efforts. The first group, calling themselves "The Players Guild" was started by Elva Schell when she came to Lansing from the upper peninsula. As the years passed, many members came and went, office spaces changed, and auditoriums changed, but the basic premise of the Civic Players never wavered, to provide the people of the Lansing area with good community theatre.
