The Jasper Project is excited to announce that Applications to be a Jasper Play Right Project Community Producer are now open!
As a Jasper Play Right Project Community Producer, YOUR NAME will appear in the first ever publication of The Counting Table by DK Turner which will have a permanent home in the Library of Congress in Washington DC. Your decision to join other Community Producers before you, such as Hunter Boyle, Linda Khoury, James & Kirkland Smith, Bill Schmidt, Larry Hembree and many more, attests to the fact that YOU care enough about new theatrical art in SC to pony up and support this art both physically and financially, and we THANK YOU for that.
To show our appreciation, Jasper Play Right Project Community Producers become our guests of honor at 4 Community Producer sessions during summer 2026 where you will be invited to work & play alongside the playwright, cast, and crew of The Counting Table to learn more about the page-to-stage process for a brand new play. You’ll be in the room when the cast is introduced to the play for the first time ever via a Table Reading of The Counting Table; you’ll be privy to a private rehearsal; you’ll interact with other Community Producers over snacks and drinks; and finally, you’ll be seated front and center in reserved seats for the first ever, highly produced Staged Reading of The Counting Table on Sept. 13th at Columbia Music Festival Association in our historic Congaree Vista. (Click Here for CP session schedule.)
NEW THIS YEAR!
