PLT Guild
The Pensacola Little Theatre Guild was established in 1977 to support PLT's efforts to find a permanent home. That task accomplished with the creation of the Pensacola Cultural Center, the Guild continues to serve PLT by hosting fundraisers, promoting the theatre, and providing a source of volunteers.
PLT Guild fundraisers include bridge luncheons, a bargain sale, and popcorn sales during Downtown Gallery Nights. These events allow the Guild to make a sizeable donation to PLT each year. In addition to sponsoring the Treehouse Theatre Series, the Guild also provides scholarships for select children taking acting classes at PLT.
