Additional lnformation As much as the virtual events helped our small non-profit organization to survive - when many other theatres shuttered conrpletely, it is not the same as being able to hold a live theatrical 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 cathariic release for audience patrons experiencing live theatre. lt helps us to look at our world in new ways, laugh, ponder our lives, 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 menrber to another wodd 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 io provide positive experiences for Ellensburg families - 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 theatre. Our youth develop a passion for live performances that comes with the opportunlty to feel the warmth of the stage lights on their faces and the camaraderie of an ensemble of players. Our adults get to have an outlet for their creativity that they cannot typically find in their usual daily lives and work together with others in the community whom othenvise they might never cross paths. 2500 char acter linril SUppOfting DOCUmentS YoLr nay rpload arly sripporlinq docualerts sLrclr as graphs im?.Jes. di"0ranrs,.nsrketirlE oate.ials. etc. VMT-WebsiteScreenshot2020.jpg 52.68K8 You are alloired lo silbnril up to 3 sintle page {US Lelleri docurrenis in JPG PDF or i IFF lormat 7l Previous Lodging Tax Grant lnformation Previous Years Awarded Lodging Tax Grants* Overall Attendnace Past Actual* 1,206 l las your evoIt recerv--d l"rriginq Tax i|nds tn f]tevioL's years?
