Welcome to the home page of the Paradise Alley Players
The community theatre group of the
Marion Cultural and Civic Center
Since the City of Marion created the Marion Cultural
and Civic Center in 1974, Paradise Alley Players has
been its non-profit community theatre. We are proud
to hold that distinction. Providing quality, family
oriented shows has always been our goal. We hope
to continue to have your support for the next 30 years.
Bravo to you, our fans!
2012 is our 35th year performing for Southern Illinois
audiences. Our goal is to perpetuate theatre arts in
the area. We do this through our many programs such
as our Playwright competition, the Children's Theatre
Workshop, Summer Lab Theatre, the annual Children's
show, and our family oriented productions.

Paradise Alley Players present a
Red Carpet Quarter Auction
Friday, February 8, 2013
6 pm to 9 pm
Marion Cultural and Civic Center
What is a quarter auction and how does it work? It is a cross between an auction and a raffle. You will receive a bidding paddle with your $5 admission ticket. Bids on auction items are from 1 to 4 quarters depending on the value of the item. There will be approximately 80 items in the auction. When the auction starts if you would like to bid on the item you put the corresponding number of quarters in the collection pot on the table. You can also choose to purchase an "ALL IN" paddle for $25. The All IN paddle allows you to be in every auction - eliminating the need for placing bids on each item. Many people buy an ALL IN paddle and use the separate bidding paddle and bid with quarters to give them an extra chance to win.
Once everyone that wants to bid is in and have raised their paddles the auctioneer shuffles the balls that correspond to the bidding paddles and pulls out a number. If your lucky paddle number is called and you have bid on the item or if you have the all in paddle number YOU WIN! If your number is called and you didn't bid just say "No bid" then the auctioneer pulls another number and that continues until someone wins the auction item. For tickets contact any PAP board member or Srephanie of Stephanies Bargain Boutique on East Main in Marion. or call for more information 922-6767
The theme is red carpet so feel free to dress as your favorite actor/actress. Costumes are not required but it will make it more fun!
A quarter auction will have a group of distributors (Mary Kay, Scentsy, Pampered Chef, etc.) and local businesses gathering their products together and raffling them off for quarters to raise money for Paradise Alley Players non-profit community theater group.
Admission Tickets: $5.00 Each
Call Stephaney at 993-1470 for information or to purchase tickets. Only 150 tickets will be sold to the quarter auction. Your ticket is your admission to this event, and you must bring quarters to bid on the auction items. Come join us for a great time while raising money for a great group!
