The Playhouse on Park Wish List

The Playhouse keeps a perpetual wish list of items that are used and/or needed, but not always a top priority. Some patrons enjoy giving us gifts from our Wish List as they know where their money is going and how it will be used. Operating needs often keep us from purchasing things we would like to have… someday. Patrons find it fun to give us something we need but can’t really afford right now. Please view our wish list here. If you are an Amazon customer, we have created a smaller list on that site you can view here.

On Sunday, February 18, 2024, we will celebrate Co-Founders Tracy Flater and Darlene Zoller’s 123rd Birthday. Admittance will be an item from the Wish List. Watch the website for more information.
