Staying at home, staying distant has been challenging. We wanted to reach out to you, as our friend and an Electric supporter, from our homes to yours, to update you on what we’ve been working on and to share a moment together during what could be lonely times.
It is unbelievable how much has changed in such a short time. Our hearts have broken watching our colleagues in the arts community cancel their premieres, productions and tours – losing gigs and being denied audiences for their labours of love. And yet, for Electric Company and so many others, creation goes on.
We have been working through this crisis – finding hope and inspiration inside new projects, uncovering our path forward in the new reality. We are more committed than ever to exploring, devising and pioneering work that will bring us together at the theatre again.
We hope you’re safe, and well. We look forward to gathering in person once again, sharing touching experiences, ideas, applause and ovations side by side. In the meantime, we hope this video will bring a smile to your face, and set your sites on the future.
See you soon,
The Electrics
The 20 for 2020 Campaign goal is to raise $20,000 for the development of new works from Electric Company Theatre. Any donation, large or small, will help propel us towards our goal, giving much needed work to our artist collaborators, ensuring we can gather again around something new.
During uncertain financial times, small regular donations can still have a huge impact, allowing us us to create with incredible artists, whose livelihoods have been deeply impacted by the global crisis. They help ensure we can share touching experiences, ideas, applause and ovations side by side in the future.
We’re looking for 20 monthly donors for the rest of 2020 (and beyond), to support the development of new creations for the stage that will bring us back together again.
For just $20 a month, you can play a pivotal role in bringing artists back to stages with brilliant and electric new visions. It’s like ordering a pizza for us, or taking our artists for coffee once a month.
