LTAC Clerk Review <br />There is something vital that happens when a group of diverse people come <br />together to work on a creative project. There is an almost cathartic release for <br />audience patrons experiencing live theatre. lt helps us to look at ourworld in new <br />ways, laugh, ponder our lives, process emotions, and join together as a <br />community. And the theatre patrons give their energy back to the actors. lt is a <br />symbiotic relationship that transports the actor and audience member to another <br />world for a brief period of time. We were blown away by the reception and <br />response from our audiences this year. People came not just once, but to two, <br />three and even four performances of the same show. One night we had over 550 <br />people in attendance which is our 2nd highest attended performance ever in22+ <br />years of the organization. Every performance there were huge cheers just for the <br />opportunity to meet back in person. lt reminds us of how vital the arts are, <br />especially in times of crisis to help us all survive. <br />As Ellensburg's primary community theater company, we aspire to provide positive <br />experiences for Ellensburg families - from our "Rising Stars" productions that <br />provide a creative outlet specifically for middle school students and teens, to our <br />Summer Mainstage show that provides opportunities for both adults and children <br />(often being parents and their kids), and are ever finding ways of expanding or <br />theatrical choices, including non-musical productions, and even dinner theatre. <br />Our youth develop a passion for live performances that comes with the opportunity <br />to feel the warmth of the stage lights on their faces and the camaraderie of an <br />ensemble of players. Our adults get to have an outlet for their creativity that they <br />cannot typically find in their usual daily lives and work together with others in the <br />community with whom they otherwise might never cross paths. <br />2500 character limit <br />You may upload any supporting documents such as graphs, images, diagrams, marketing materials, etc. <br />VMT Supplemental - Promotion samples.pdf 1.03MB <br />You are allowed to submit up to 3 single page (US Letter) documents in JPG, PDF or TIFF format <br />7l Previous Lodging Tax Grant lnformation <br />9129122,'10:46 AM <br />Additional lnformation <br />Supporting <br />Documents <br />Previous Years <br />Awarded Lodging Tax <br />Grants* <br />Overall Attendance <br />Past Actual* <br />Has your event received Lodging Tax funds in previous years? <br />No, this evenVproject has not previously received Lodging Tax Funding <br />Yes, 1 year previous <br />Yes, 2 years previous <br />Yes, 3 or more years previous <br />Projected * <br />lf-app-16-03.co.kittitas.wa.us/Forms/form/submission/history/77087/85583?hideHeader=true 12t19
