About Us :

Welcome to the official site of Shade Tree Players.  We provide opportunities for children of the Bismarck-Mandan area, ages 6-16 to develop and show off their talents on the stage.

From summer theatre productions to acting workshops and lessons, our mission is to provide as many children who are interested an chance to experience the lifetime thrill of performing in front of their family, friends and community.

We sincerely hope that you will give Shade Tree Players some serious consideration!  We would love to have you as part of our theatrical family!

History:

The Shade Tree Players was organized in 1970 by Sister Barbara Ann Gehrki, University of Mary, and Lee Nagel, a local educator. Their purpose was to establish a children's theater where the acting would be done by children.

In 1991, Shade Tree Players merged with Dakota Stage, Ltd. This merger provided the Shade Tree Players with a home, storage, administrative support, theatrical advice and counsel.
