Click the image above to see some photos from the 9th most popular Cottage Theatre show of all time (based on number of tickets sold). This one should definitely bring a smile to your face!

Even though our doors are temporarily locked, the business of show business continues. Here's what's happening right right now:

• I'm working with theatre colleagues across the country to figure out what new cleaning and disinfection protocols we will need to put in place to ensure our patrons' and volunteers' safety once we reopen.
• The CT Board and I are researching and pursuing all available temporary relief funding to help CT weather this sudden loss of ticket income with as few "bumps and bruises" as possible.
• We are polishing our "crystal ball" and engaging in a lot of scenario planning as we consider a variety of possible future schedules once it is safe for us to resume operations.

Like every performing arts organization, Cottage Theatre faces some significant financial challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have already taken steps to cut as many ongoing operating costs as possible during this crisis, but some core expenses like utilities and insurance continue.

If you are in a position to contribute a little bit to help ensure that CT maintains its footing for the future, we — and your future fellow audience members —will be very grateful. And if you can't send money, send us some love, by sharing one of your favorite Cottage Theatre memories! We want to hear from you.
