Players in the News
We had the good fortune to approached by Anthony Lanzilote and asked to be part of his article on the Grandmont Rosedale neighborhood.

So when he said he want to come that pictures of Shrek on the final performance I was a little nervous.

Players’ Spotlight: Dionté Brown By Elizabeth Dickson-Sanders
We first met in 2008 during the Park Players production of Smokey Joe’s Café. At that time, Dionté was just a 17-year old high school senior, but his performance abilities far exceeded his age. For this reason, he was featured in several songs and dances. However, Dionté’s artistic journey was just beginning. He graduated from high school and moved on to Michigan State University, where he majored in theater and honed his dance skills.
