Our Mission
To provide quality amateur theatrical productions for the tri-state area by encourging members of the surrounding communities
to express their creative abilities in all aspects of live theater
General Info
In November of 2001, GRP was granted a 501c3 status which means that donations
to our organization can be used as a tax deduction for the donor. As the end of the year approaches, we hope you will
remember GRP with any tax deductable contributions. Thanks for supporting the ARTS.
In April
of 2001, the Mayor of Keokuk, Gary Folluo signed a proclamation for a GRP Day. The mayor also encourged residents of Keokuk
and the surrounding area to support GRP, he also sited the importance of community theater and Fine Arts.
