WELCOME

I believed in one simple truth: when a community gathers around a story, we change—together. Over the last few years, we’ve grown from a handful of productions to a bustling slate of performances, concerts, classes, and youth programs. That growth hasn’t been accidental; it’s been powered by you—our audience, artists, educators, volunteers, partners, and the City of Mauldin showing up, lending your voice, and daring to imagine what theatre in this space can be.
This season, you’ll see that spirit on full display. We’re stretching artistically, investing in new talent, and deepening our commitment to accessibility and education. From bold mainstage titles to opportunities for young performers, every moment on our stage is designed to spark connection between neighbors, across generations, and within ourselves.
28
SEP 2019 • 7PM
• CULTURAL CENTER OF MINNEOSOTA
None of this happens without an extraordinary network of people. To our creative teams and crews who build worlds from scratch, our performers who pour their hearts into the work, our staff and volunteers who make the magic run, and our sponsors and donors who fuel the mission thank you. And to you, seated here tonight: your presence matters. You complete the story.
Here’s to a year of brave storytelling, generous community, and the kind of nights that linger long after the curtain falls. I’m honored to share this season with you.
