Host Your Company’s Holiday Happening at Arts Center Theatre
This season, elevate your company’s holiday celebration, employee appreciation night, or company holiday party by hosting it at the Arts Center Theatre — Marco Island’s award-winning community theatre that provides a vibrant hub for creativity, connection, and culture. And a few laughs too!
Whether you’re planning a client hospitality event, an employee appreciation night, or a festive company gathering, the Arts Center Theatre offers a unique opportunity to expand your cultural footprint, integrate the arts into your social responsibility initiatives, and leverage community engagement to enhance your brand visibility.

Packing Up Polly
November 5-22, 2026
By Leslie Kimbell
Directed by Hyla Crane
Polly Porter, famous 1970’s gospel singer of the group POLLY PORTER & THE PRAISE HIS NAME SINGERS, has gone on up to heaven. Her daughter, Caroline, has come home to Savannah, Georgia, to pack up Miss Polly’s house but there is just one little problem (or two or three): Miss Polly was an extreme hoarder of epic proportions, Caroline’s useless siblings are totally MIA, and her three best friends from high school, former co-cheerleaders, have all shown up…UNANNOUNCED! Lizzy now owns the Miss Georgia Belle Pageantry system, Donna Jo is the local community theatre diva, and Becca is having a late in life geriatric pregnancy with baby girl number five. The gospel music plays and the margaritas pour as the four ladies laugh, cry, scream, and COME TOGTHER to pack up Miss Polly’s house, heal old wounds, and make new plans for their future.
FLOAT
December 9-20, 2026
By Patricia Kane
Directed by Amy Saad
The industrious members of the Budapest Women’s Club (pronounced Bu-DAP-est) come together for an annual tradition: the crafting of the holiday parade float. But under the surface of this pleasant gathering, the women find themselves grappling with sexuality, betrayal, and their own hard and fast notions of right and wrong. In this ode to the complicated undercurrents of Midwestern morality, you’ll meet Marty, Luce, Char, Arletta, and Doodee — five women who face the tests life presents to them with laughter, love, and a lot of fake snow.
