Carnegie Players
NonprofitWe hereby recognize and celebrate the theatre as a justified human action, necessary and life-enhancing. Whether it soothes us with refreshing laughter when we are weary, or startles us with uncompromising portraits of social decay when we are complacent, at the best the theatre is a worthy action which supports and sustains the health of the society it mirrors. Because of its inimitable power to dramatize the ideas of great thinkers, it is central to the human education lives and is a primary source of enriching the quality of life in our communities. In order to support these ideas with our collective strength, we join together for the common good of theatre and life in our community.
