Looking back at 2009 and ahead to 2010
As Steep Theatre Company's first year in our new theater comes to a close, I am proud to report that we have accomplished exactly what we set out to do back in November of 2007: we have built a home that matches the professionalism we bring to our work, where our audiences and artists can grow for years to come.
Thanks to the support of people like you, our new space has been universally described by critics and audiences as one of the more professional storefront theaters in the city. And our work there has matched our polished new setting. This past year featured the best-attended, best-selling production in company history, two Jeff Recommend shows, a record five Jeff Nominations for excellence in theater, and the Jeff Award for Best Ensemble.
However, this is not the time for us to rest on our laurels. While we find ourselves in the wholly unfamiliar, yet tremendously exciting position of having no infrastructural issues, no licensing uncertainties, or a country band next door to distract us, our budget requirements continue to grow. Producing high-quality work in Chicago is expensive, and while we continue to keep our budgets among the lowest in town, we need additional support to continue to improve our production values.
I am writing to you today to ask for your help in Steep's next phase of growth. Your donation will make it possible for us to continue to stretch ourselves as artists and make the most of the beautiful theater we have built together.
Steep is a 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. Please send all donations to our business office at 5343 North Paulina Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60640.
Thank you for your support. We hope you will continue to spread the word about the exciting work taking place at Steep!
Yours truly,
Peter Moore
Steep Theatre Company |
