From the Executive Director

Dear Cottage Theatre family,

I am thinking of all of you today:

All of you who are frontline essential workers

All of you who are mourning or are worried about loved ones

All of you who are impatient to reconnect in person with family and friends

All of you whose creative urges have been a little stymied of late

I am thinking of all of you and wishing you well!

Cottage Theatre is a community theatre, and creating connections between people and discovering meaning together is our reason for being. What I miss most right now is witnessing a group of people, of all ages and political persuasions, come together to share a powerful story on our stage. This week's Top Ten Show #4 (below) was an example of that powerful magic in action. I look forward to the time when we can be together and create that kind of magic again. I know you do too!

Until then, be well . . . and spread kindness!

Susan Goes

Executive Director

Your questions answered here

You have questions . . . and so do we! Some questions, of course, we cannot yet answer, like "When will Cottage Theatre resume productions?" But we are happy to answer the questions that we can. We'll answer a question or two each week going forward.

Question: I understand that Gov. Brown has outlined a plan for reopening Oregon. How does that impact CT?

Answer: Some Oregon counties, based on their ability to meet specific public health prerequisites, may be eligible to enter "Phase I" reopening as soon as May 15. However, large gatherings are still prohibited through at least late September, with further guidance to be issued this summer. Here at CT, we will continue to abide by the advice of Oregon Health Authority and Lane County Public Health officials and remain closed until it is safe for us to reopen.

Create some magic for your future

Like every performing arts organization, Cottage Theatre faces some significant financial challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have already cut as many ongoing expenses as possible during this crisis, but some core operating costs continue whether or not we are holding performances.

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.
