Reflecting and Anticipating

THANK YOU ever so much for helping us sustain the financial health of Theatre Adventure as we head into a new year of inclusive expressive arts programming.

We surpassed our Year End Appeal goal!

Celebrating our Successes

Here are some of our accomplishments from this past year:

  • Purchased the equipment and set up a hybrid approach to our programming and performances;

  • Produced three full online productions, the third being our new hybrid model that includes both online and in-person actors and audience members;

  • Welcomed four different visiting artists who inspired great creativity with puppets, movement, music, and story-telling;

  • Workshopped the rich topic of "friendship" and uncovered a myriad of feelings, ideas, and memories. This content was the heartbeat of our fall show, Friendship: An Invitation to Connect and becomes the springboard for our upcoming April show, Harmony: a Portrait of Friendship;

  • Developed three original stories inspired by mythology from a variety of cultures. Music and puppets were created which will help us prepare for the upcoming May show, The Curious Child and the Flying Horses;

  • The Mentors are acquiring a depth of skills in role modeling, observation, reflective thinking, and planning while building leadership skills; and

  • Created a Traveling Troupe of six experienced actors who were paid to perform for Sandglass Theater's Puppets in Paradise. As a result, they were asked to perform at Gallery Walk in downtown Brattleboro.
