What's Up with Parrish Playworks?
Parrish Playworks, Inc., is a local theater troupe serving Parrish and the northern Manatee County region. We are passionate about creating theater together that engages our audiences and leaves them happier or more thoughtful about the world around them. Many of our team of talented performers have years of experience and a deep love for their craft, but we welcome newcomers who want to learn about the art of theater and telling stories together. We perform in a variety of genres, including murder mystery-audience participation shows, comedies, plays from literature, plays for young audiences, and storytelling that features local history.
For the first time ever, we will performing Shakespeare! We are diving in with 11 scenes from various plays. This event at the Palmetto Library features family-friendly activities and a chance to introduce yourself to some of the very best theater ever written in the English language! Our show runs about 30 minutes, and each scene is from 1-5 minutes long. Just long enough to enjoy! See the poster above for details, and bring a few friends to brush up your Shakespeare!
We are RAISING THE BARD! at Palmetto Library on April 25!
All the world may be a stage, but you can find the merry band of players from Parrish Playworks at the library. We will celebrate William Shakespeare's 462nd birthday by performing some of his best known scenes at a party in his honor on Saturday, April 25. The party starts at 1 PM and ends at 4 PM--join us for a while that afternoon. We will perform a 30-minute tribute show at 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30. You can also check out the crafts and games in between showtimes. This event is free, but we would be delighted if you supported LOCAL and LIVE theater with your donation.

Grant Award to Parrish Playworks, Inc.
Parrish Playworks received a grant of $4,500 to light up our world! Literally. Nobody likes to be work in the dark, and our traveling troupe was in desperate need of good, stage-worthy but portable lighting equipment to bring on the road to the various venues where we entertain. We are grateful for the funding for this project provided by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.
