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.
At Southampton Cultural Center (an active 501c3), Center Stage is committed to presenting an exciting and eclectic array of beloved classics, contemporary voices, timeless musicals, intriguing new works and premieres in the Levitas Center for the Arts. Under the direction of Michael Disher and Joan Bennett Lyons, Center Stage is an integral part of Southampton Village’s new Arts District.
This requires financial support. One hundred percent of your generous and tax-deductible donation will support Center Stage’s upcoming season. Your donation allows us to uphold our standard of excellence. Won’t you join us in our continued commitment to theatre in and by our community?
