Thank you Collingwood!
Living or working in a town like Collingwood is truly a blessing! It’s such a beautiful town, in a beautiful region, rich in its people and its things to do! At Theatre Collingwood we are thrilled to have wonderful staff, Board Members, volunteers and audience members/supporters to work and play with every day. At this time of year we can’t help but be thankful.

I’d like to give a special shout out to our Theatre Angels at this time. These are folks who really believe in the talent we are bringing to Collingwood, our children’s drama education programs, our seniors story telling classes and acting classes, our Porchside Festival, the beautiful Open The Window project that honoured so many teachers, and all the other work we do to support artists and our community. Theatre Angels donate $5,000 or more in one year.
Today is Giving Tuesday, and on this day we want to thank everyone who has given so much to Theatre Collingwood either with a donation at any level or with their time. We could not do what we do without YOU!

As we near the end of the year, if you have not yet made a donation to Theatre Collingwood, perhaps you would consider doing so now, and in so doing you will receive a full tax receipt for 2022. We hope that we have entertained you and made life a little brighter for you. We hope we have created a little magic for you. We hope we have enriched the financial economy of our town as well as the emotional economy of our town. It can be a little tough sometimes with all that goes on in our world and we hope the artists help to bring you joy and food for your soul!
Coming up next is our Staged Reading of A Christmas Carol on Wednesday, December 14th, 8pm at First Presbyterian Church. If you have not got your tickets yet please do so today as they are selling out quickly. If you are not sure what this is all about, this is a really fun annual event we do and it is sort of like watching an old radio show. We have a Foley Artist who creates all the background sounds, and an accompanist, and wonderful readers, and we transform you back into the days of this grand old classic Christmas story!

2023 Programming Update
Our Board of Directors has approved our 2023 programming and we will be announcing it in the next couple of weeks. We are just dotting the “I”s and crossing the “t”s. We think you will really like what we have in store for you. I can tell you we will have a 5-Play subscription series again. In 2023 it will begin in May and run through September, one show-week a month except for July….when we will be presenting our Porchside Festival again! Remember, Theatre gift certificates make great gifts!
Last but not least, I wish for all of you to have the opportunity to speak with a four year old on the first day of snow! I did this year! My granddaughter Perry called me to say “Grandma, it snowed this morning and it is so beautiful! Want to come play with me?” Well let me tell you folks, if that doesn’t make you look at things differently I don’t know what will! And I did go play in the snow with Perry!

Have a wonderful week!
