SUMMER PLACE
We are excited to introduce a new way to get involved with Summer Place Theatre: Friends of Summer Place Theatre . This program is designed for people who want to support SPT in ways that match their interests, skills, and availability. Whether you want to volunteer your time, make a financial contribution, or do both, Friends of Summer Place Theatre offers meaningful ways to help strengthen our organization and support our future.
This program was created to help us:
- Strengthen community involvement

This opportunity is ideal for those who want to help create fun, welcoming, and meaningful experiences that build connection among patrons, volunteers, artists, and supporters of Summer Place Theatre.
Events & Engagement Team
The Events & Engagement Team helps Summer Place Theatre create memorable experiences that strengthen community, celebrate our volunteers and artists, and deepen audience connection to the organization. This is a great opportunity for volunteers who enjoy planning, hospitality, collaboration, and bringing people together.
Volunteers in this area might help with:
Cabaret Planning
Assist with organizing cabarets and special performance-based events that bring people together in a fun and engaging way. This may include helping coordinate logistics, brainstorm themes, support performers and participants, assist with promotion, and help create an enjoyable experience for both guests and artists.
Opening Night Receptions
Help plan and coordinate opening night receptions that make performances feel festive and welcoming. Volunteers may assist with setup, decorations, refreshments, guest flow, hospitality, and other details that help create a special experience for cast, crew, patrons, and supporters.
Volunteer Appreciation Events
Support the planning of events and activities that recognize and celebrate the time, energy, and dedication of Summer Place Theatre volunteers. This could include helping organize appreciation gatherings, recognition moments, thank-you initiatives, or seasonal events that make volunteers feel valued and connected.
Social Gatherings
Help create informal opportunities for members of the Summer Place community to connect outside of performances and production work. This may include planning casual meetups, outings, mixers, or seasonal gatherings that build friendships and strengthen the sense of community around the theatre.
Theatre Socials
Assist with events that bring together patrons, artists, volunteers, and supporters in theatre-centered social settings. These gatherings may include post-show events, themed socials, meet-and-greets, or other engagement opportunities designed to celebrate the organization and encourage deeper involvement.

About Summer Place Theatre
The Summer Place, Inc. — commonly known as Summer Place Theatre — began in 1966 as a way to keep students active and their acting skills sharp over the summer months. It was founded by Donald “Doc” Shanower, then Dean of Theatre at North Central College. Summer Place Theatre has grown into a long-standing Naperville institution dedicated to providing high-quality community theatre.
Our Mission
The Summer Place, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-supported community theatre based in the Naperville area, strives to provide professional-quality year-round theatre arts entertainment.
We are committed to providing:
- A supportive and collaborative environment for artists
- High-quality, culturally enriching entertainment to the community
- Educational opportunities for all ages through mentoring and performance-based participation
Summer Place receives funding through ticket sales, advertising sales, concessions, grants, and the generous donations of patrons. As a community theatre, Summer Place provides Naperville with the opportunity to gather, create, and share theatrical work at a very low cost. Major community support has also come from the Naperville Park District and Naperville School District 203.
