TheatreWorks Wins Grant Award!

TheatreWorks New Milford is very pleased to announce its recent grant award from the Connecticut Community Foundation (CCF) in Waterbury.  The $5,000 grant allows our board to continue to work with a non-profit consultant on a broad-based fund development plan. CCF has also offered the services of an advisor to work with our consultant.

The Board has great ideas for improving the facility to better serve our patrons, our artists and our students. We also want to find new ways to fulfill our mission of enriching the culture of our region by forming new partnerships and reaching new audiences, especially those who might not otherwise be able to take in the delights of live theater. 

While we’ve been fiscally prudent with our operating monies so that we can continue to offer 5 high-quality productions per year plus a children’s theater program after-school and in the summer , we simply can’t improve and expand as we’d like without securing outside funding…..above and beyond what subscriptions, ticket sales, tuition and some annual donations allow.

The Board has been working since last fall with advisors from the Non-Profit Assistance Initiative of the Connecticut Community Foundation.  We’ve completed a full assessment of our organization and, using those results, have nearly completed a strategic planning process that allows us to better organize our work and plan our future.  We are committed to applying the same high standards to our organizational work as we have always brought to our artistic work. Partnering with the Connecticut Community Foundation has allowed us to take a good look at ourselves and re -commit ourselves to our mission of 40 plus years to serve the cultural needs of our region.

We thank them for their generous support and recognition of the impact the arts have on our communities.

TheatreWorks Teams Up Again with Homeward Bound
Sunday, October 18th —  Mark your calendars! Save the date!
On Sunday, October 18th, the matinee performance of the popular musical Kiss Me Kate will be followed by the gala reception at Homeward Bound's elegant store on Bank Street in New Milford. Last year's event was a meet and greet with the "theatre-folk " open to the community; this year's event will raise needed funds to support the theatre's expansion and improvement plans. We hope you can join us for an afternoon of theatre, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, silent auction and musical entertainment. Watch for details in upcoming newsletters and on our website.
