This year especially, it is a day to celebrate endurance, commitment, and generosity.
As the founder of Unwrap Theatre, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the members of our Unwrap family. You contribute so much to our work, our artistry, and our very existence.
To our artists – your talents and unique voices have an immeasurable ripple effect in our region, province, and country. I appreciate you, and thank you for your precious time. Some of this time donated freely! This has been invaluable as our institution begins to find its footing.
To our donors, corporate sponsors, and government supporters – I cannot thank you enough. Your enormous contributions to our programming, provides more than two thirds of our annual revenue. Yours is not simply a donation to the theatre, but a massive gift to over a thousand audience members who are inspired and touched by the work you support.
To our volunteers and board members – you continue to take on the challenge of leadership, labour, and thoughtful management. Your support continues to benefit our productions, the community and individuals viewing our work across the country. You continue to support me as I set up the foundation for this company and together we will provide bold and exciting art for years to come. You are fantastic supporters and ambassadors. Thank you.
I am so grateful to all of you for your remarkable contributions to Unwrap Theatre.
On Saturday, November 21, we will be releasing our latest short film – “Contact, None Behind”.
To our donors, artists, patrons, and promoters, I urge you to check your email box where I have personally sent you exclusive early access to this new piece. To the remainder of our following who perhaps are awaiting the perfect opportunity to join our family, “Contact, None Behind” may be this opportunity.
Unwrap Theatre has had a remarkable birth and has a promising future ahead – starting this coming year (be the first to hear about 2021 programming by subscribing to our mailing list and following us on social media below)!
We are made up of so many generous, multitalented, and committed people. Without your support we would not be the company we are growing into today. Thank you.
