Review for Great River Players Inc, Keokuk, IA, USA
After 20 years of involvement in almost every phase of production for this active community theater group, I am still amazed at the fresh and active group who continue to provide quality live theater for Keokuk, Iowa and the surrounding area. Beyond the three formal productions each year, we sponsor two summer shows for youngsters and teens and produce a minimum of two fund-raising projects for our patrons. Involvement by the members goes beyond the theater and finds them in many community groups, helping to enhance quality of life and arts in our midwestern town. Our current production is in its final week of prep and our next show goes up in April. My perception of community theater is that its purposes are entertainment, social interaction and education. Great River Players does it all.
