"Supporting local organizations that enhance the arts and cultural environment of Northeast Florida is important to The Players," said Adam Campbell, The Players 2019 Tournament Chairman.  "The Florida Theatre is a historic venue that enriches our downtown as well as the lives of those within our community."

"Florida Theatre is honored to welcome The Players as the newest member of our corporate partnership program.  We look forward to strengthening the connections between downtown and the beaches communities," said Florida Theatre President Numa Saisselin.  "One of the things that THE PLAYERS and the Florida Theatre have in common is service to the Northeast Florida community.  Through our own activities, and through the organizations we both support, we are working to make Jacksonville and the Northeast Florida community a better place to live and work."
