Review:
Island Players Community Theatre is Manatee County's oldest community theater organization, originally founded and opened to the public on Anna Maria Island in 1949. The theater is housed within the converted family home of William H. Gillette, which was originally constructed around 1912 and has previously served as a church, school classroom, and tourist information center. In the mid-1970s, the theater acquired use of the historic landmark building and brought it up to current code conditions as part of major renovations. Five annual public theatrical productions are presented at the theater, showcasing Broadway-style musicals, dramas, and comedies. One annual presentation is also showcased as part of the island's artsHOP celebration.
