Dear Friend,

Thank you for making 2015 our most successful season ever.  2016 will be even better.  But we need your help.

In six years we have enjoyed enthusiastic and growing support from the community. We’’re proud and excited, and we have many to thank. But the key to our success has been our business model:  raise each season’’s funds in advance, and don’’t spend what you can’’t raise. Because we don’’t count on ticket sales to provide the lion’s share of our funds, we can keep ticket prices very low. But it all depends on you. Community support–not ticket sales–drives our survival and our growth.

This year, we’re preparing three  shows,  one  indoors  and  two  at  the  park,  and  we  are  again  preparing  for  a  full  six-week  summer season.   First, on the heels of our sold-out run of Tomfoolery last year, we’ve again partnered with Conor O’Neill’s restaurant to bring you a dinner  theatre performance of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.   Playing throughout February and into March, this show will feature Brel’s haunting and hilarious work.  And at just $10 for dinner and another $10 for the show, it’s the best live performance value around. (Grab your tickets now at www.pennyseats.org. Space is limited!)   Next, our 2016 Summer Season at West Park  will  feature  two  knockouts:   a  modern  adaptation  of  Chaucer’s  The  Canterbury  Tales,  directed by  Anne Levy, and the 2008 Broadway smash, Xanadu (based on the cult classic 1980 film of the same name), directed by Philip Simmons. These shows, different as they are, share our penchant for humor, audience interaction, and innovation.  We can’t wait to share them with you.

Helping out is easy, and it comes with some great perks, including free tickets to all our shows. So please, take a look, and help us achieve what we set out to do. Let’’s give Ann Arbor a fabulous, top-quality summer theatre festival in the park.

Thanks.
