The Lambda Players Are in Crisis and Need Your Help

An Open Letter from The Lambda Players

Twenty-one years ago Sacramento’s first gay and lesbian theatre company, The Lambda Players, began performing gay and lesbian themed plays to fill a void that existed in the Sacramento Region.

Like many theatre companies here in Sacramento and across the country though, The Lambda Players are facing difficult financial times. The bottom line — The Lambda Players need to raise $21,000 by March 1, or this part of Sacramento’s GLBT history will disappear forever.
The Lambda Players just moved to a new location on 21st Street to be closer to our heart in the Lavender Heights area. This new location shows great potential and many people donated their time, effort, and money to make the move possible.

However, grants that have kept us afloat through tough times have been shrinking because of the current economic woes. The sad fact is that outstanding debts may make the move the last thing that The Lambda Players ever do.

In order for The Lambda Players to continue to produce shows for the community in the years to come, we need to clear that debt and get a fresh start. To do that we are going out to you, the Sacramento community, and asking for help.

Many of you have either volunteered over the years with us or have frequented our shows. The love of gay theatre is strong within us and The Lambda Players have worked hard over the years to portray this love on stage through its performances. 

Please help us keep this long-standing group going for another 20 years. If you can help, please log onto www.lambdaplayers.com and donate to this worthy cause. We are a non-profit 501(c) (3) charity, so donations may be tax deductible.

Any donation, small or large will be appreciated. Credit cards can be taken on our Web site or mail checks to PO Box 163055, Sacramento, California 95816.  You can also call us and leave a message at 916-444-8229 for any other questions or to make other arrangements.

Sincerely,
Dave Stewart, President
The Lambda Players, Inc.
