About
Tidewater Players Youth Educational Programs and Summer Camps offers youth educational programs, instructional intensive summer camps, and children's programs focused on classic and contemporary theatre. Participants take part in theatrical productions presented by one of the oldest continually operating community theatres in the area, which serves as the resident theatre of the Cultural Center at the Opera House.
Tidewater Players has served the city of Havre de Grace since 1979 and has been performing at the Havre de Grace Opera House since 1984. As of August 2017, it returned as the resident theatre to the Cultural Center at the Opera House. The organization is a non-profit theatre company whose Board of Directors, staff, directors, and actors are all volunteers. Its mission includes providing high quality entertainment at affordable prices, youth educational programs, and instructional intensive summer camps for many students who have no other artistic venues, and raising thousands of dollars for local charities. Over the years, it has raised funds for organizations such as Movable Feast, The Trevor Project, and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and it values classics, contemporary works, and original works in its seasons. Tidewater Players states that it maintains an all-inclusive, safe, and supportive space for all performers, production team members, and volunteers, and it is described as having highly regarded and highly esteemed instructional intensive summer camp programs.
The leadership team includes President Becky Flickinger, Vice President Tyler Zeisloft, Secretary Madai Chardon/Barb Snyder, Treasurer Mark Briner, and Director of Youth Programs Bobby Mahoney. Additional directors are Stephanie Carlock, Janet Dill, Paua Diggs Smith, Steve Flickinger, Heidi Pensell, Megan Phelan, Lisa Standish, Dickson Teel, and Kenny Williamson. Legacy Members are Lilma Huntley and Paul Mauldin, and the founder is the late Harry Malin. A Tidewater parent who was a state delegate acquired state funding to help pay back Tidewater for its longstanding service and value to the Havre de Grace community.
