Why theatre matters in a digital world . . .

Community, community, community.

♦️Our community is important now more than ever! We’re in a time where people are feeling more isolated than ever before.

♦️Theatre offers the chance to connect with other patrons with similar interests & meet the people directly involved in entertainment experiences.

♦️Live performances are truly ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences & theatre creates unforgettable bonds with friends, family & community members.
