Additional lnformaiion As much as the vidual events helped our small non-profit organization to survive - when many other theatres shuttered completely, it is not the same as being able to hold a live theatncal event. There is sorneihing vital that happens when a group of diverse people come together to work on a creative pro;ect. 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 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 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 ilve theatre. We had several sell- out performances, and every per{ormance 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 heip us all survive. As Ellensburg's primary comnrunity theater company, we aspire to 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 opportunity to feel the warmth of the stage lights on their faces and the camaraderie of an ensemble of players. Our adults gel 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 otherwise they might never cross paths. 2500 charact-.r lintit SUppOfting DOCUmentS You nay up'oad ary supporlinq .loclinrerlls s.iclr as graphs itraqes diegrarts otatkeli|e rn?ile.ials. eic.
