Dear Friend,

The new year is thankfully on the horizon and so is our New Year/New Plays Festival, which begins on January 6, just one week from today. If you haven’t done so yet, now is the time to reserve your free tickets. As a reminder, here is the schedule one more time.

We will, as always, be soliciting your feedback via a talkback following each reading – this time on Zoom, of course – as your thoughts and reactions are valuable to the playwrights as they continue to polish their work.  

Mark and Diane Perlberg are the executive producers of the New Year/New Plays Festival; Sandra and Bernard Meyer are the associate producers. PBDonline is sponsored by Louise and Barry Snyder. Tickets to all programs are free, but reservations are required. Visit palmbeachdramaworks.org or call the box office at 561.514.4042, x2. And donations to PBD are always welcome. 
We also want to give a shout-out to Impact 100 Palm Beach County (Impact 100 PBC), which is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2021. PBD was the recipient of a $100,000 grant from Impact 100 PBC in 2019 in support of our One Humanity Tour, and we want to congratulate this wonderful organization for reaching this milestone. Impact 100 PBC was founded in 2011 to provide a philanthropic opportunity for women to join together to make a charitable impact in southern PBC. The organization seeks to advance high-impact giving by bringing individual women together to collectively donate multiple $100,000 grants annually. Since conferring its first $100,000 grant in 2011, Impact 100 PBC has awarded 35 $100,000 grants and a total of $3.873 million to more than 65 local nonprofit organizations. To learn more about Impact 100 Palm Beach County, visit www.impact100pbc.org.       

Finally, we want to bid good riddance to this annus horribilis and wish you all a happy, healthy, and safe New Year. Here’s to brighter days ahead!
