I had the great pleasure to be employed at Festival Theatre this past summer. I couldn't ask for a better community to be a part of. The theatre patron's and employees are some of the most loving, welcoming people I have ever met.
Arts Programming is one of the most important things a community can have. Without them, there is little outlet for creative endeavor's.

I learned more as an actor this summer than I have in my nearly 4 years of school. There is so much to be said for real world experience.

Extra funding would allow this organization to take on more staff, and extend their artistic reach even further.
The Festival Theatre is a beautiful old building with lots of charm and wonderful people providing wonderful entertainment to the masses. I greatly enjoyed my visit there this summer!

Festival Theatre, in addition to providing professional entertainment to the people of the St. Croix Valley, also provides education in the arts for the youth of the area. From the work I have seen, I fully expect that several of these very talented children will be able to pursue careers in the theater because of the training they have received at the Festival.
In addition, Festival provides a venue for emerging artists in the area - a place for them to launch their careers or to enrich an emerging career.
This theater is a living, growing, contributing, and integral part of our community.

As a teacher, I have seen students first become aware of the difference between real and pretend when they meet the actors who have presented the play they've just seen. This may seem trivial, but in these times, when children watch countless hours of television, much of it violent, it is vital that they understand that what they are seeing is NOT real.

Find a way to decrease the ticket prices so that more people would have the opportunity to share the benefits of great theater and so that we could build a larger community of active supporters.

A most amazing rural theater with live theatre productions and music performances in a historic building on Main Street in a small river town that reaches out to all ages. A dedicated staff under the direction of Danette Olsen makes magic happen with limited resources. The children's productions are inspiring - watching talented young people in incredible productions.

I purchase a flex pass each year, attend as many productions as I am able and bring people to the theatre who have experienced it prior

I would make no change to the organization but would love to help with an upgrade to the building itself, an elevator and new seating would be lovely.
