4 SIMPLE REASONS TO SUPPORT LOCAL THEATRE

1. Local theatre helps nurture new artists. Many successful actors, directors, writers, and choreographers have launched their careers in humble, small town playhouses.
2. You can be part of the storytelling process. Plays are an ancient form of storytelling. It’s a creative ritual still very much alive despite the age of Youtube.
3. There is nothing at all like the shared experience of human beings in an audience spontaneously reacting to a live production.​
4. Theatre holds up a mirror to society and helps you see things in a new light.
