Dear Cottage Theatre family,
How are you doing?
We sure do miss seeing you at the theatre! This is a frightening and uncertain time for all of us, and a challenging time to be running a performing arts organization. The magic of live theatre is based on bringing together — in person — an audience and a group of actors to share a common story. The power of such storytelling is rooted in our ability to be present in the moment, to react authentically, and to feel our shared humanity. Movies and Facebook videos have their place in our world, but there is no substitute for the real thing when it comes to community theatre.
So we wait. And we make contingency plans. And more contingency plans, since at this point none of us know when Cottage Theatre can reopen its doors and we can return to the theatre-making we love.
But in the meantime, we miss you. And we send our very best wishes for your continued good health and that of your loved ones. And to help us all remember some of the wonderful stories we have shared together over the years, today we begin our "Top Ten CT Shows of All Time" countdown. May these photo slideshows brighten your days just a little as we each do our part to slow down the spread of this contagious virus.
Be well!
