THEATRE CAN SAVE THE WORLD

A bit dramatic? Hey, we can’t help it – we’re theatre people. But think about it: even the smallest energy spent by us on the stage sends energetic ripples into the world, changing us, our audience, our community, our world, our universe. Theatre truly has the power to save the world, and now you can help us fight the good fight!

We are Working Class Theatre, a professional-level not-for-profit theatre company in Taos, New Mexico. Working Class Theatre is committed to keeping the art of theatre alive by producing provocative and socially relevant theatre, creating new theatrical works, developing emotionally authentic ensemble acting, and fostering a nurturing environment where theatre artists at any stage in their development may train and assist in the production of professional theatre.

And in all of this, Parks Playhouse – our workspace, our home, our stage – has always had a starring role. We’re reaching out to ask for your support in keeping the doors of the Playhouse open as we head into our 2016 season.

In the upcoming years, we plan to expand the minds of theatre goers and players with imaginative new interpretations of our changing world, dedicated and professional staging of the classics, and emotional and evocative workshops and classes. Your donation to this campaign will give us the boost we need to kick off this new revolution of creativity!

Support Parks Playhouse!!

THE PLAY(HOUSE)’S THE THING

Parks Playhouse, an intimate black box theater that seats fifty-six, is special to everyone who has performed there or who has been in the audience at any of its well-loved productions. Some were lucky enough to have known the man for whom it is named. Some know it as a sacred first audition or rehearsal space. Many have begun a lifelong love of theatre after attending a first performance there. To other local theater groups, touring productions, musicians, poets and speakers the Playhouse, has been a special temporary home.

The only venue of its size and type in northern New Mexico, the Playhouse plays an essential role for the performing arts community here. After some recent financial struggles, we’re asking for help from our community in keeping the doors of the Parks Playhouse open. Your donation will help launch a renewed and revitalized Playhouse, as Working Class Theatre redoubles our commitment to bringing high-quality, socially-relevant theatre to Taos and its visitors.

A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE…

And it’s so easy to help Parks Playhouse continue as a venue for professional performances and workshops for community members of all ages, and as an affordable rental resource for visiting and local speakers, performers, and acting troupes.

Check out the many different levels of financial support, choose one and click on it. That’s it! We’ll supply the perks – and the works – in our mission to enlighten! Who knew it was this simple to help save the world?

Be a Working Class Hero. Support Parks Playhouse

Sincerely,

All of us at Working Class Theatre.
