Dear Patron:
Time really does fly when there are many worthwhile tasks to accomplish. And among an ongoing list of items on which we seek to continue making progress with your help is our ability to do well and do good. Please assist us to do well so that we can continue to do good by making an end of year tax-deductible contribution of $100 or a donation that is within your ability to give by clicking www.theessentialtheatre.org/donate. No donation is too large or too small. And when we say that 100% of your donation goes directly towards creating affordable programming that we make every effort to make accessible to the public through our reduced priced tickets programs; we mean just that.
In addition to our good deeds of making our performances affordable through our select pay-what-you-can performances, we have also done good by using those performances to partner with other community based nonprofits allowing proceeds from select pay-what-you-can performances to support their missions.
Among examples are how The N Street Village and Calvary Women’s Center have benefited under our Period Poverty Project. Patron supporters for each organization could attend a designated reduced priced performance and proceeds from the select performances were utilized to purchase and donate feminine hygiene products for unhoused women and girls served by each facility.
Most recently FixPat, Inc. whose mission is to disrupt the carceral logic pervasive in the disability systems of care, which contribute to the many poor health and social outcomes for people with special needs utilized our reduced priced programming to also raise funds for its causes.
In response to hurricane Dorian that ravaged the Bahamas, during a select pay-what-you-can preview performance the organization accepted loads of storm recovery items and partnered with the local Church of Scientology to ship the items to a partner Church in Miami, FL that shipped the freight on to the impacted islands.
In response to the February 6, 2023 southeast Türkiye 7.6 magnitude earthquake, the company partnered with the Embassy of Türkiye to ship critical needs items purchased using proceeds from a select pay-what-you-can preview performance. Items such as personal sized toothpaste, mouth wash, dental floss, soap, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, as well as underwear for children and adults were sent to impacted citizens.
We love producing meaningful, impactful, high quality theatre. And we understand that we cannot perform these good deeds supporting our immediate and extended communities without your annual, much needed support. It is critical to our survival. We urge you today to visit www.theessentialtheatre.org and make your end of year tax-deductible contribution. A little goes a long way. We hope you will journey with us by supporting our impactful work.
In closing, we hope you and yours will make time to enjoy this holiday season and wish you a happy and safe New Year.
Artistically yours,
S. Robert
