LTAC Clerk Review 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 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 member to another world for a brief period of time. We were blown away by the reception and response from our audiences this year. People came not just once, but to two, three and even four performances of the same show. one night we had over 550 peopie in attendance which is our 2nd highest attended performance ever in 22+ years of the organization. Every performance there were huge cheers just for the opportunity to meet back in person. lt reminds us of how vital the arts 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 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 oppofiunities 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 per-formances 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 get to have an outlet for their creativity that they cannoi typically find in their usual daily lives and work together with others in the community with whom they othenruise might never cross paths. 2500 character limit You may upload any supporting documents such as graphs, images, diagrams, marketing materials, etc. VMTSupplemental-Promotionsamples.pdf 1.03M8 You are allowed to submit up to 3 single page (US Letter) documents in JPG, PDF or TIFF format 7l Previous Lodging Tax Grant lnformation 9129122, 10:46 AM Additional I nformation Supporting Documents Previous Years Awarded Lodging Tax Grants * Overall Attendance Past Actual * Has your event received Lodging Tax funds in previous years?
