Theatre Adventure, Inc. received a $15,000 Creative Futures Grant from The Vermont Arts Council, to create innovative performances throughout the pandemic. "In response to creating and developing our hybrid program, the students have risen to new levels of independence and leadership, as they present seamless hybrid performances," said Julianne Kaplan, a board director, during a Theatre Adventure presentation on the organization's growth and change at The West Village Meeting House. The hybrid model has also expanded our opportunities for participation in community events, and marketing and outreach.
The Vermont Arts Council Creative Futures Grants provide funding for creative programs impacted by the pandemic, empowering artistic organizations to thrive in creating new performance models both in person and online. The Vermont Arts Council envisions "a Vermont where everyone has access to the arts and creativity in their life, education, and community," wrote Amy Cunningham, Interim Executive Director, in her letter awarding the grant.
