#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving and unity. GivingTuesday strives to build a world in which the catalytic power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe.
2020 has been a difficult and heartbreaking year. We miss gathering in our shared space to experience the magic of theatre. We are so thankful that you've stuck it out with us and cannot thank you enough for your continued support and kind words through this extraordinary time.
Like so many others, our theatre has been hit hard due to the current pandemic and we've had to adapt. This virus has interrupted all of our lives. For us that meant cancelling two productions, educational offerings, and staged readings.
We have all had to adapt and grow during this pandemic and Theatre In The Park is no exception. Our staff, alongside some very talented local artists, have continued to work throughout the year. We were so happy that we were able to produce and stream our production of The Wild Women of Winedale in October. While due to safety reasons we could not gather to record, but we were able to put together a streaming production of Ira David Wood III's A Christmas Carol (which starts streaming today!). We all need a little Christmas and it's just not the Holidays without you.
We have so many exciting things planned for our upcoming season that we cannot wait to share with you! Right now our space is dark, but we keep the light on as a symbol that we'll return. Hopefully we can be together again soon - in person - at our shared space.
In these uncertain times art becomes a beacon and a balm that reminds us that there will be a rainbow after this storm passes. We encourage you, if you are able, to give to your local arts community and help keep the hope alive.
