End of year giving

Dear Friends,

It is difficult to think about the arts in the wake of the disastrous summer and fall we all just faced.  Storms, floods, fires, earthquakes, mass shootings, social unrest; there are so many pressing needs and so few hands and pocketbooks to fulfill them.  Geographically, Ravalli County, Montana is a relatively small community but we are still global citizens and as such, we have a responsibility to take ownership of the present and the future. So support the cause you believe in.  Help people who need help.  Give (food, clothing, time, money) to someone or something that you feel needs your attention.  Be a beacon of light and hope.  Make a difference.

While you are making a difference, don’t forget to celebrate.  Strong communities are defined not only by their shared difficulties, but also by their shared celebrations.  We need to celebrate successes, achievements, beauty, kindness, strength, perseverance, and much more.  We celebrate and grow together.  At the Hamilton Playhouse we put the spotlight on education, inspiration and community through the performing arts.  Hamilton Playhouse is more than just a theater; it is a haven where community comes together to make magic and memories…and celebrate.  When all is said and done, live theater provides respite, inspiration, and entertainment in a world where those things are increasingly difficult to find. 

Here at the Hamilton Playhouse, we strive to be a beacon in our community and Hamilton Players’ success relies on end of year donations.  And every nonprofit arts organization is in the same boat.  So while you think about how to make a difference this year, please don't forget the arts organization in your communities. Your tax deductible donation makes it possible to continue to celebrate and provide amazing artistic programming, offer special events, provide educational opportunities, and much, much more!  So celebrate the season in whatever way feels right to you and know that with the support and love of the community, Hamilton Players will be celebrating along with you.

Happy Holidays!
