The Charlotte Players Auction officially opens for bidding on October 19, 2026, providing supporters with an opportunity to celebrate and strengthen live theatre, arts education, youth programs, and the performing arts in Charlotte County. Every registration, bid, donation, and shared post helps expand the reach of Charlotte Players while supporting an organization that has been entertaining, educating, and enriching the community for more than six decades.
This Media Kit was created to help volunteers, supporters, performers, families, businesses, sponsors, community leaders, theatre lovers, patrons of the arts, and friends of Charlotte Players easily promote the auction through social media, text messaging, email, and everyday conversations. The goal is simple: build awareness, increase registrations before opening day, and encourage more participation once bidding begins.
Unlike generic fundraising templates, everything below has been designed for real-world use. The messages, ideas, graphics, and promotional tools can be copied, personalized, shared, reposted, or adapted for different audiences. Whether someone is posting on Facebook, sending a quick text, sharing with fellow theatre lovers, encouraging coworkers, or asking local businesses to participate, this Media Kit makes promotion easy.
Registration is now open, allowing supporters to prepare before bidding officially begins on October 19, 2026. Early registrations create excitement, increase visibility, and help ensure more supporters are ready to participate the moment the auction opens.

Every share, every registration, and every conversation helps build momentum leading into auction day.
Charlotte Players
Charlotte Players has been an important part of the cultural arts community in Charlotte County since 1961. From its modest beginnings, the organization has grown into a longstanding community theatre company that has produced more than 300 theatrical productions and over 2,200 individual performances while entertaining and enriching generations of Southwest Florida residents.
Charlotte Players’ mission is to provide quality entertainment and arts education that enriches the community. Through live theatrical productions, acting opportunities, educational programs, special entertainment, and community involvement, Charlotte Players creates opportunities for people of all ages to experience the creativity, excitement, and connection that come from the performing arts.
The organization’s impact extends beyond the stage. Charlotte Players provides acting opportunities and educational experiences for adults and young people, including its popular Kids Onstage program, which introduces children to the fundamentals of theatre and gives young performers opportunities to participate in their own productions.
Charlotte Players also partners with the Charlotte County Imagination Library, which has provided more than 125,000 free books to registered preschool children in Charlotte County since 2012.
For more than 60 years, Charlotte Players has entertained and enlightened tens of thousands of theatre-goers while helping make the arts accessible to the community. Today, that tradition continues through performances, education, youth programs, community partnerships, and opportunities for people to participate both onstage and behind the scenes.
Keeping the Arts Center Stage
Community theatre is about much more than what happens when the curtain rises. It creates a place where performers discover their talents, volunteers find meaningful ways to contribute, children experience the arts, audiences come together, and stories create connections between people throughout the community.
Charlotte Players helps make those experiences possible.
Through productions at the Langdon Playhouse, arts education, acting programs, Kids Onstage, community partnerships, and other entertainment opportunities, Charlotte Players continues a cultural legacy that began in Charlotte County more than six decades ago.
Supporting Charlotte Players means helping preserve a place where creativity can flourish and where residents of different ages and backgrounds can experience live theatre and participate in the performing arts.
Every dollar raised through this auction helps strengthen the organization’s ability to continue providing quality entertainment and arts education while enriching the community for future generations.

Even smaller donated items can help create momentum and participation. Auctions become successful when businesses, supporters, volunteers, and community members come together and contribute what they can to support the cause.
Auction Graphics and Memes for the Charlotte Players Auction
Supporters should download and save the auction graphics from this Media Kit directly onto their phones and computers so they can easily share them across social media, text messaging, email, and community groups leading up to auction day.
Graphics work especially well when combined with short messages celebrating live theatre, highlighting Charlotte Players’ history, promoting arts education, recognizing performers and volunteers, sharing countdown reminders, promoting early registration, and inviting the community to support the performing arts.
Simple and consistent visibility before the auction officially opens helps create familiarity and encourages more supporters to register ahead of time.
