The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals
Join us September 25-October 4th for The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals! Everything in Hatchetfield seemed normal until people began singing... Then, they began dancing... And now, a musical pandemic is sweeping the entire city. It’s up to Paul (an average guy who doesn’t like musicals) and his friends to stop this musical apocalypse and fight for humanity’s future!
By hit online theatrical company StarKid Productions, this telling of the Horror Comedy Musical will have inspiration and love of Flint at it's heart, and the deadly Apotheosis at it's brain!
This program is sponsored by the Greater Flint Arts Council Share Art Genesee Grant Program made possible by the Genesee County Arts Education and Cultural Enrichment Millage Funds. Your tax dollars are at work!
Tickets available by clicking the button below or calling us at 810-235-6963

Flint Pride
FCP will have a table at Flint Pride Saturday September 19 from 1-8. If you’d like to join us send us an email at admin@flintcommunityplayers.com and let us know what event you’d like to help with. Otherwise, come say hi!
Season Tickets
Have you ever considered purchasing a season ticket? You might be wondering why we push you to buy a season ticket every year. Well truth be told, even though it's a discount for you it gives a financial boost at the beginning of the season. Plus, it helps us know to know how popular a show might be, which in turn helps us figure out where to put our energy into marketing, concessions purchase, and community outreach.
It's only $70 for 6 tickets! That's at least a $20 discount!!

Volunteer of the Month
Morgan Parker
Morgan has jumped headfirst into choreographing her first show with Firebringer and has done so with an incredible capacity to teach while also putting smiles on the cast’s faces and instilling in them a confidence that might not have been quite so easily attained under someone else’s instruction.
Thank you Morgan!
