Paradise Alley Players
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!
2009 is our 32nd year performing for Southern Illinois
audiences. Our goal is to perpetuate theatre arts in
the area. We do this through our many progams such
as, the Playwright competition, the Children's Theatre
Workshop, Summer Lab Theatre, the annual Children's
show, and our family oriented productions.

"Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"
Directed by Bill Ewell
A young girl writes a letter to the editor of the New York Sun. "Dear Editor, I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says if you see it in the Sun, it's so. Please tell me the truth. Is there a Santa Claus?" Ed Mitchell, the editor, assigns Frank Churcha reporter on the verge of self destruction the task of answering Virginia's question. Church's quest and reply have become one of the world's most quoted and beloved editorials.
