To the Seattle/Tacoma South Sound Theatre Community: We are listening and what we have heard raises concerns. We take such allegations seriously and will work to respond fully and appropriately. John Munn resigned as Managing Artistic Director on the 21st of July and the Board accepted his resignation, but are sufficiently concerned with recent reports that we will proceed as laid out by our policies as they pertain to harassment and discrimination linked HERE.
Regardless of an investigative outcome, the Lakewood Playhouse Board and Staff intend a total redress and training on our harassment and discrimination policies. This will include a public comment for additions and changes, and several members of the local community have already put forth suggestions to assist the Lakewood Playhouse in moving into the future as a community partner and ally. The Lakewood Playhouse strives to return to our purpose of creating engaging live theatre.

How You Can Help
Your Playhouse and Other Area Non-Profits During this Unique Time In History Throughout the World 
As you know, Arts Organization is a Business that Produces and Presents Art. When we are unable to present the art that we produce, we have no income with which to cover our day-to-day operations (utilities, maintenance, payroll and more). We are therefore moving into a time that is not impossible to weather but would benefit from your assistance. We wish to share some simple ways you can help Your Lakewood Playhouse, and other local area non-profits, during this time. SEASON TICKET / FLEX PASS RENEWAL for SEASON 82 This is that special time of the year when we ask our patrons to renew their foundational commitment to be a Season Ticket or Flex Pass holder. If you have not been able to do so, yet, we ask that you use the enclosed form and send it back as soon as you are able. If you are fiscally unable to renew your Season Tickets, at this time, please know that we have extended our deadline to July 18th, 2020. Our Box Office is Temporarily Closed During the Executive Order We will be Checking, and Responding, to Our Messages Regularly! CONSIDER NOT ASKING
FOR A TICKET REFUND If a show is moved to a different date that you would not be able to attend, or possibly cancelled, please consider not asking for a refund of your ticket, but rather to consider it as a donation to the Playhouse. MAKE A DONATION
If you are fiscally able, please consider a donation (no matter how small or large) that might help cover day-to day operations of your Playhouse. We only ask that you are not placing yourself under any hardship by providing your contribution towards this effort. BECOME A SEASON SUSTAINER
We have enclosed our informational letter about how to become a Season Sustainer. This is a program, similar to that with PBS, where you would be able to create a monthly donation, in an amount that is comfortable for you fiscally, that would be donated monthly. A donation as little as $10.00 a month, would then become $120.00 over a one-year period. If 10, 20, or 30 people were able to make this sort of commitment, the positive, and consistent, support that it would give the Playhouse would be immeasurable A “CHALLENGE” TO
HELP OTHER NON-PROFITS: Finally, I would like to echo the words of Aaron Lamb, the Managing Artistic Director of Olympia’s Harlequin Productions. He wrote: “I will invite you to make this a challenge gift for yourself: whatever you can give to us at this time, please consider giving a matching amount to other organizations in the area. We are so fortunate to live in a community with a rich and vibrant arts presence, with many organizations all producing great work. This community is not rich and vibrant because we are all monoliths, rather it is rich and vibrant because we are a community.” |

ABOUT THE SHOW A unique and imaginative theatre piece which, in the words of the author, “needs no theatre, no lengthy rehearsal, no special set, no memorization of lines, and no commitment from its two actors beyond the night of performance.” The piece is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the actors read the letters aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down. Last Presented At the Playhouse in 2013 AUDIENCE WARNING: This presentation contains some adult language and material and is recommended for ages 13 and Up. |
