Black Hills Playhouse Alumni Association

Picture
The Black Hills Playhouse Alumni Association (BHPAA) partners with the Black Hills Playhouse, Inc. to support operations and capital projects at the Black Hills Playhouse. It is recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt charitable organization. People are members by virtue of their association with the Playhouse as a company or board member and there is no membership fee. Since 1995, the BHPAA has raised $233,055.44 for projects which improve the Black Hills Playhouse. BHP Alums Unite!
