Why Joining the Freeport Players’ Guild Matters
Being a member isn't just about supporting the arts; it’s about becoming part of the engine that keeps Grand Bahama’s finest performing arts centre alive.
The magic of the Regency Theatre doesn’t just happen when the house lights go down and the curtain rises. It happens during the months of rehearsals, the late nights in the scene shop, and the meticulous planning of our dedicated volunteers. Behind every standing ovation is the Freeport Players’ Guild, and at the heart of the Guild is our membership.
Being a member isn't just about supporting the arts; it’s about becoming part of the engine that keeps Grand Bahama’s finest performing arts centre alive. With annual operational costs of approximately $60,000, every membership fee goes directly toward keeping our doors open and our stage lit.
