In addition in 2025 and 2026, we've made a commitment ensure that artist salaries at Clear Space Theatre Company are competitive, fair, and equitable, to ensure that we are able to bring the highest caliber of performers, directors, designers, and choreographers, to our audiences here in Rehoboth Beach and beyond. This means that your support can help ensure that all of our artists are able to make a living wage for their work, whether they call Delaware or anywhere else in the country home.
