From the Executive Director

Dear Cottage Theatre family,

There are so many important things to think about these days — and sometimes you just need to take a break! So give yourself a well-earned two-minute respite from the daily news and enjoy CT's Quarantine Costume Parade. May you find it inspiring. I know I am constantly inspired by and grateful for the talents and dedication of Cottage Theatre's amazing volunteers (who I miss a lot)!

Until we all can be together again, be well, and spread kindness!

The Sew Must Go On!

At some point during the rehearsal preparations for a show, we hold what is known as a Costume Parade. Actors don their costumes for the first time and "parade" across the stage while the costume designer and director confer and make notes.


Today we bring you a Costume Parade of an entirely different sort. Since the COVID-19 "Stay Home Saves Lives" order began in March, Cottage Theatre volunteer extraordinaire and costumer Rhonda Turnquist has been sewing up a storm. We thought you might enjoy taking a peek at her handiwork below. Hopefully all of these beautiful creations will appear on our stage someday!

Help keep community theatre strong

Like every performing arts organization, Cottage Theatre faces some significant financial challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have been fortunate to receive one of the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loans, that funding covers only some of our expenses for a couple of months — and it is clear that it will be many months before Oregon moves to Phase 3 and performances like ours are permitted again.


If you are in a position to make a donation to help CT "keep the lights on" during this difficult time, we  and your future fellow audience members — will be very grateful.
