Studio Players Inc.

“Studio Players A rticles of incorporation call for 11 members of a board of Trustees consisting 5 Officers: President; Past President; President Elect; Secretary; and Treasurer; plus six Trustees. Officers serve one year terms although the Secretary and Treasurer may be elected to subsequent one-year terms. Trustees serve staggered three-year terms and may serve one more consecutive term. They may serve as Trustees again after having been out of office for a year after a six year term. There is an advisory board consisting of individuals who participate in board meetings but do not have a vote in board decisions. Often these are persons who are active volunteers at Studio but may prefer not to be on the board. All 11 board members are approved by the Members of Studio Players. These individuals pay a $10 membership fee for which they receive a free ticket to a Studio Players show and also attend the annual meeting of the organization where they vote approval of members of the board. Many members have been associated with Studio Players for over twenty years and sometimes will volunteer as ushers or assist with costumes or set painting decoration. Many also have been Season Ticket holders and donors to Studio Players. The Articles of Incorporation intended to establish Studio Players as a community theatre not only to provide entertainment to the local area but also to create a "communuity" of supporters who would become part of a larger Studio Players family. Perhaps this is why Studio has been able to last for nearly 70 years.”

“Studio Players rents its theatre from the City of Lexington KY. Because of the lockdowns relating to the Covid 19 pandemic Lexington's Mayor ordered all city buildings to be closed on March 15 2020. The order remained in effect through the end of June 2021 and continued on into the next fiscal year. Not having a place to perform significantly altered our ability to offer program services.”
