Additional lnformation As much as the virtual events helped our smail non-profit organization to survive - when many other theatres shuttered completely, it is not the same as being able to hold a live lheatrical event. There is something vital that happens when a group of diverse people come together to work on a creative project. There is an almost cathartic release for audience patrons experiencing live theatre. lt helps us to look at our world in new ways, laugh, ponder our ltves, process emotions. and join together as a community. And the theatre patrons give their energy back to the actors. lt is a symbiotic relationship that transports the actor and audience member to another world for a brief period of time. I was struck by how eager our audiences were this spring and summer to enjoy the full experience of live theatre_ We had several sell- out performances. and every performance there were huge cheers just for the opportunity to meet back in person. lt reminds us of how vital the ads are. especially in times of crisis to help us all survive. As Ellensburg's primary community theater company, we aspire to provide positive experiences for Ellensburg famrlies - from our "Rising Stars" productions that provide a creative outlet specifically for middle school students and teens, to our Summer Mainstage show that provides opportunities for both adults and children (often being parents and their kids), and are ever finding ways of expanding or theatrical choices. including non-musical productions, and even dinner theaire. Our youth develop a passion for live performances that comes with the opportunity to feel the warmth of the stage lighls on their faces and the camaraderie of an ensemble of players. Our adults get to have an outlet for therr creativity that they cannot typically find in their usual daily lives and work together with olhers in the community whom otherwise they might never cross paths. 2500 lrhar:r.lter lintil Suppofting DocumgntS You rray upload a[y silppo.tin.] docurrenls srich as qraphs. imaEes diagrarns. nterketiltg r.]alerials. etc. VMT-WebsiteScreenshot2020.lpg 52.6BKB You are allovred to srbnrit up to 3 sinqle paqe (US l.,elt--r) docufireris in JP{1.
