Last year I wrote to you about you – your value, your attendance, your support and your generosity. None of which was taken for granted, for with you, Center Stage presented its 10th and most successful season to date.
Together, we did it. Three simple words that collectively embraced actors, designers, ushers, volunteers, painters, costumers, caterers, audience members, supporters and donors. Together, we assembled quite a formidable group. WE are a vocal and visual community. WE are fundamental to the artistic landscape here. WE make a better community, because this is our community. WE live here. And WE are stronger for it.
