REMEMBERING WENDY OVERLY

Dear Friends, with great love and deep sadness we share the news of Wendy Overly's passing after being diagnosed in August with an aggressive form of cancer which advanced too, too quickly.

SEASON 36 DELAYED UNTIL 2021

We will delay the opening of its Season 36 subscription season until fall 2021. With the previously planned 5-play lineup on hold, the organization will focus its efforts on virtual programming and education initiatives, as well furthering its commitment to becoming a more just, equitable, and inclusive organization.  Press release>

This March, our stage went dark with an abrupt but necessary close to Season 35. Since then, we have been overwhelmed by your generosity and compassion. Ticket sales, fundraising events, and theater rentals are not possible at this time, making your contribution truly more important than ever. Please donate today. Your gift will make all the difference in ensuring that we come back together, stronger than ever. Thank you for believing in us and in our future!

Friends,

On June 18, in a letter to our community, we shared our outrage and despair at ongoing police brutality and racial violence, joining our voice with others in demanding justice for Black lives. The Gamm affirmed a need to examine the ways in which racism not only infects policing, but our own theater. We unequivocally acknowledge our participation in upholding and benefiting from exclusionary power structures, the harms this has caused, and forcefully commit ourselves to dismantling those structures within our own organization.

​

The purpose of today’s letter is to share our commitments to achieve lasting, systemic change toward becoming a more just, equitable, and inclusive organization. Read more>
