Our Mission

What We Stand For

Tree County Players (TCP) is an all-volunteer group. It was originally established to provide an organization in which people with theatrical interests can develop their skills, understanding, and appreciation of drama and to offer theatrical performances for the enjoyment and educational enrichment of the community. This continues to be our main mission.

Our group presents several shows each year, some dramas, some comedies, and usually a summer musical. Thousands of Decatur County and surrounding area residents have participated in TCP productions, and even more, have benefited as audience members. Many people involved with this group have learned skills that have enabled them to move on to bigger and better things.

It has always been important to us to budget our shows so that ticket sales cover show production costs (royalties, script rentals, sets, costumes, performance space rental, make-up, props, advertising, etc). However, fixed costs such as building maintenance, insurance, website hosting, etc., are supported by the generous donations from our benefactors’ donations and membership fees. TCP is a 501(c)(3) organization (not-for-profit) making all donations to this group tax-deductible.

We pride ourselves on keeping our membership fees reasonable, with dues starting at $10 for an individual and $20 for a family.
