Welcome to our 24th Season

FOREVER THEATER

Presenting a season of theater is perhaps our most public Act of Faith, even as we keep a deep dark secret. It is believing and feeling that even as we stay completely honest, we have the winning cards (the plays, the shows, the festivals...) up our sleeve. It is believing in what we do and feeling that we continue to grow as we realize each of our goals.

What is the magic word that has the power to overcome every adversity and, without flinching, to press on and drive forward in support of that true Act of Faith? It is that single term for art, love, passion, honesty, humility, work, all rolled up together... This 2014-2015 season... it's FOREVER THEATER.

Mario Marcel - Artistic Director
