Dear Friends,

The Production Company has been blessed with tremendous recognition for artistic achievement in our first three full seasons. We were overwhelmed as recipent of Best Revival from both The LA Drama Critic's Cirle and LA Weekly Theatre Awards for our 2009 production of Equus.  We are humbled by a total of 18 LA Stage Alliance Ovation Nominations including Best Season, Best Musical, 2 Best Production, Best New Play, 3 Best Director, 2 Best Actor, 3 Best Supporting Actor, 2 Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Musical Direction, and a Best Lighting nod. There are four hundred member-theatres in that group and we got the second highest number of nominations of any intimate theater in Los Angeles for our first full season – and by far the most of any newer company - and we continue to be honored annually. Additionally we received 35 places on StageSceneLA’s ‘Best of Season’ List and 7 Honorable Mentions in Entertainment Today’s ‘Best Of…’ Listing. With all those kudos, please know that we are even more honored by your support. Without your support and patronage, none of this would be possible. None of it. You make art possible.

We have been fortunate that since our initial find-raiser to open our doors in 2007, we have not needed to do a full fundraising effort. In fact, we just completed our move and some significant improvements to our new, larger theatre including new carpeting, improved seating risers with better sight lines, a new stage lighting grid, and new sound equipment. We felt that your support deserved a commitment to greater things, and we have made it so.  You see – we may be a small theatre – but we think big. That said, we do see the effects of recent economic challenges and so we find we must now ask you to join hands with us to ensure that we can continue to grow. We put every penny that we receive from the box office and all other support directly into the theatre. It’s all on that stage every production.  We understand that you may not be immune to difficult times, but if there is room left in your giving, please make The Production Company a recipient of your generosity. As a 501©3 corporation, your tax-deductible donation will make it possible for us to continue creating surprising, important art on our stage. Support at every level makes a dramatic difference (pun intended) and you can list your donation as a charitable gift for tax purposes.  But now, we've received a "matching grant" from LA County, so every dollar you give will be matched up to $6000, doubling the impact you can make.  Please take a moment to reflect on how urgent the need is to maintain the arts as a forum for social disourse - particularly in these uncertain times.  In return, we promise continued lights …magic …and an extraordinary commitment to stage artistry we are very proud of. Our commitment is to giving you more than your money’s worth each time we are honored by your visit.

As Mrs. Lovett from our Award-nominated 'Sweeney Todd' says; “times is hard”. By clicking above to use your credit card or paypal account, or by writing a check today you can be sure our productions will continue to shine.  We have also partnered with United Way, so if you wish to use them as a conduit, we can arrange that as well.  So click, mail, or call to make art today.
