Adopting a Player helps us to support highly skilled performing artists in Denver. Understudy and "bit part" players take on the responsibility of learning a character without the reward of a sustained spotlight. Our goal in 2026 is to provide a $150 stipend for each of the following understudy (and "bit") roles:
- Sir Richard Cholmondely
- First Yeoman
- Second Yeoman
- Kate
- Leonard Meryll
- U/S Phoebe Meryll
- U/S Wilfred Shadbolt
- U/S Colonel Fairfax
- U/S Dame Carruthers
- U/S Sergeant Meryll
- U/S Jack Point
- U/S Elsie Maynard
Adopt-a-Player supporters who fully sponsor one understudy will receive one ticket to The Yeomen of the Guard in July, as well as acknowledgements in our program notes and curtain speech.
