Haddonfield theater group gets financial boost

Plays & Players awarded $87K grant from Columbia Bank Foundation

Haddonfield Plays & Players has received $87,360 in grant funding from Columbia Bank, through its foundation, to support capital improvement initiatives at the theater, which include upgrades to sound and light systems, a new box office window and other renovations to enhance the facility and theatergoing experience.

“We are so very thankful to everyone at the Columbia Bank Foundation for this generous award,” said HP&P president David Stavetski. “The benefits to us will be passed along to the many artists, actors, dancers and students who find a creative home in our theater, and it will help us provide a more enriched experience to those we serve in the community.”

Founded in 1934, HP&P has produced hundreds of plays and musicals with the aim of providing quality theater at an affordable price to a wide range of Delaware Valley audiences, as well as to provide a creative outlet for non-professionals with a commitment to non-profit theater. The HP&P theater building located at Crow’s Woods in Haddonfield was built in 1986.

“As our largest donation to date, we are thrilled to help Haddonfield Plays & Players continue to deliver quality performances while making an impact,” said Amy Dupuis, executive director of Columbia Bank Foundation. “We are a proud supporter of the arts and the creative energy they bring to the community.”

HP&P offers a wide array of programming for the community in addition to their main stage theatrical productions, including programs for kids and teens which aim to build confidence and introduce them to the theater arts. Also, there are programs to assist those with various disabilities as well as one to increase Holocaust awareness.

Haddonfield Plays & Players is located at 957 E. Atlantic Avenue, Haddonfield, NJ 08033. For more information, contact Emily Brennan at marketing@haddonfieldplayers.com
