Wonderful Community,

Make a donation to The Catamounts this Colorado Gives Day, and together we’ll keep theatre alive. Click here!


As a company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what performance can do–and where it can do it–we were determined to keep making theatre through this terrible year if we safely could, in spite of the near shutdown of the performing arts.

I’d say it’s been challenging, except you’ve made it a joy.

You enthusiastically participated early in the pandemic when we pivoted to an online FEED.
You showed up masked in all kinds of weather to ride through The Rough.
You sent your young artists to a socially distanced Camp Catamounts outdoors, in a park.

You told us in audience surveys that live performance–in whatever safe form you could experience it–gave you a moment of normalcy, of feeling connected to one another again.

You kept theatre artists working when 95% have lost work due to the pandemic.

You made it so that while we had to reimagine our programming, we never had to shut down.

Your donation this Colorado Gives Day ensures we can continue to make theatre safely in 2021:


*In February and March, with The Whiskey Tasting, an online, interactive theatre experience enjoyed from the comfort of your own home;

*In June, with Land of Milk and Honey, a new, site-specific, immersive piece leading you through an old dairy farm laden with a history of tragedy and redemption;

*In the spring, with educational residencies at Heatherwood and Creekside elementary schools, whether online or distanced, outside; and 

*In the coming season, with One Way-Back Day, an all-original piece being developed by a team of BIPOC artists for you under the creative direction of company member Tresha Farris.

 

A $20 donation helps keep a ticket to The Catamounts’ professional work reasonably priced; $100, a day of workshops for young artists at an elementary school; $300, tuition assistance for a Camp Catamounts kid who could not otherwise afford it; or $1000, several weeks of a professional artist making boundary-pushing theatre. 

Thank you for forging through this with us, shoulder to shoulder, in a tenth season we could not have imagined. Thank you for finding joy with us nonetheless. You are the best.

 

With deep gratitude,

Amanda Berg Wilson, Artistic Director
