City Park Players thanks the Central Louisiana community for its support as they recover from the loss of their home for over 50 years. The Little Theatre in Bringhurst Park was built with a groundswell of community support and completed in 1956. Located at 1802 Sylvester Street, the building was destroyed by fire earlier this month in the storms following Hurricane Gustav, and was demolished on October 14th, 2008.
