My Nonprofit Reviews

I've worked with the Forest Theatre guild since 1990 and am an ardent supporter. Not being very rich all I've been able to afford to give is my time. The programs that I've participated in have always stressed the community connection and the support of younger artists. Early on we provided an apprentice program for budding Stagehands and Designers. As time moved on the programs became more young performer/audience oriented. As a member of the Board in the 2000's the Guild faltered and there was fear of its ultimate demise, but the Board reorganized and obtained the services of a volunteer Executive Director who embodies all of the qualities of the Guild's mission statement, and who pulled it out of the mire and back into its purpose. Now they are once again the community's theatre, not competing with more commercial or educational theaters, but choosing and producing programs that directly benefit the people that live in the area. They truly deserve all of our support.
