Education & Learning

The Academy offers classes for adults and students of every age and ability. Programs run year-round and include weekend workshops, multi-week classes, summer camps, inclusive offerings, full scale productions, and Southwest Florida’s only full-time performing arts middle and high school, the Baker Day School. Additionally, The Academy boasts the region's only dedicated educational theater - The Tanya & Denny Glass Educational Theater. (NEED LINK)

Classes support confidence, creativity, and strong communication skills while providing focused training in acting, voice, movement, improv, musical theatre, technical theatre, and more. It’s a place where learning and joy go hand in hand.

Building community through inclusion

Our mission to build community through exceptional access to the power of theatre reaches far beyond our classrooms and stages. Arts Access brings together the programs, resources, and partnerships that remove barriers and open the door to people of all abilities - and use theater to make a positive impact across our community.

Through sensory-friendly experiences, accessibility support, and collaborations with more than 45 local organizations, we are expanding how theatre can serve its community. By meeting people where they are — from the Collier County Sheriff's office, to schools, the Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) hospitals, senior centers, and neighborhood programs — we are showing how the arts can foster connection, understanding, and meaningful change.

Become a performer at The Naples Players

Our volunteer performers are integral in making our quality productions possible. We are committed to providing you with a volunteer experience in which you will have fun and learn something new.

We find that the fear of auditioning often prevents those with amazing talents from ever taking the opportunity to “try-out” for a show. But rest assured, at The Naples Players, we are excited to encourage your talents.
