WE MADE IT!

This year we were inspired to fill the house with new Reserved and Patron subscribers. An anonymous donor stepped forward last spring and offered $27,000 to encourage audience members to subscribe, upgrade, and give. The challenge is in honor of our 27th year.

We are glad to announce that we made it and are grateful to the many Reserved and Patron subscribers who helped us reach our 27/27 Challenge!
