Welcome to the Springer!

Get Rewarded for Doing Something Good with the Heart of the Springer!

The Springer believes in our community and we believe you do, too. That’s why we’ve launched Heart of the Springer, our program to support local nonprofits and rewards you for doing the same. Get a ticket discount to our shows, just for doing something good.

Throughout the run of every production at the Springer, we collect donations for a specific nonprofit “partner”. Donations can be money or specific items that support the mission of our selected production partner. Look for signage and information about our Heart of the Springer program in our lobbies and box office along with a container to collect items. Our partners for the 2023-24 Season can be found via this link.

In order to receive your $5 discount, you must make your donation when you purchase your ticket at the box office window.

No Shame Theatre

No Shame Theater is a late-night, uncensored event in which performers get five minutes to express themselves through music, poetry, sketch comedy, prose, rap, improvisation, dance, rants, stand-up comedy – almost anything goes. There are only three rules:

1. • The performance can last no longer than five minutes.

2. • The performance must be your original material.

3. • You can’t break anything – the space, the law, or yourself.

No Shame Theater is an 18 and up event, and IDs are checked at the door. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are available. Admission is $5 for audiences as well as performers.

No Shame Theatre takes place in the Player’s Saloon at the Springer (entrance on First Avenue).

Doors open at 10:00 pm. There are (15) 5 minutes slots available and performers can sign up beginning at 10:00 pm. (Pro tip - Spots go early, so arrive early!)

The show will start promptly at 10:30 pm.
