Hello friends!
I hope you'll consider helping me personally cover 10% of Clear Space Theatre Company's goal during Delaware's annual day of giving, Do More 24. I had the great privilege to join the team at CSTC last fall as our new Managing Director - and in the 3 1/2 months I've been here, the momentum I've witnessed has been remarkable. Since the middle of October, with only one two exceptions, EVERY performance of EVERY production here has been sold out - a beautiful on-going reminder of the connection that our community has to this extraordinary company. With 13 productions each year and over 140 individual performances, CSTC is the most prolific producer of professional theater in the state of Delaware... which says a lot, given that Rehoboth Beach is far from being the state's largest community.
Clear Space turns 20 this year and is making plans for a future performing arts center that can help our facilities grow to meet the needs and demands of our community. Before building a new facility, we're working to upgrade the technology in our current space with systems than can easily transfer to that new home. Our first project is an investment in our sound equipment. Our current equipment is entirely analog, which can create unwanted glitches. With DoMore24, we are beginning to build the fund that can help ensure our sound system gets a full upgrade before the year is over. After meeting our initial fundraising threshold of $10K, 50% of all gifts during our DoMore24 campaign will be earmarked directly for that new sound system.
Gifts of every amount make an enormous impact towards our goals - especially because some of the matching challenges are tied to the number of gifts a non-profit receives. So, even a gift of $5 helps us make progress towards those matches.
Thank you for considering supporting my little campaign for CSTC!
