Just so you know we’re not sittin idle, planning meetings are coming up and we’re looking at a schedule that will delight you. Yes, we will hold the Children’s theatre Workshops. Last year was a raging success and you can see video from it at www.morenovalleyarts.org/MountainTheatre.htm
So, stay tuned. I can’t post every day, but I will post as soon as I know anything!
Welcome fans! Let me start by bringing you up to date. Last Season was one of trauma and joy! The sudden crashing of our partnership with Texas Tech was in fact the new beginning of a different level of theatre! While it brought many challenges, not the least of which was making a new season in three short months, in the end, the result was high quality theatre, new partnerships and a whole new way of thinking.
In the process, we took a hard look at the economics of bringing live theatre to this remote and isolated valley. In this community of about 2,000 we had multiple non-profits competing for limited resources, both financial and in terms of volunteers and time. Unanimous votes of two boards, brought the end of Angel Fire Mountain Theatre as independent organizition, and the re-creation of a fully operational performance arm of the Moreno Valley Arts Council. The MVAC is the longest running arts organization in the valley.
And so, as of now, Mountain Theatre is a program of the Arts Council. This will simplify and consolidate, both our fund raising efforts and the organizational and management needs of the multiple arts programs.
Now to what you’re really looking for: What’s coming in Season XIII, 2009? Well, we’re working on that! You can trust that we will once again bring live theatre to our community and it’s visitors. And, our Children’s Theatre Workshops will run again….like 2008…local and original. Subscribe (RSS) to this blog and you’ll know first what’s coming up!
Here’s to Season XIII! Hurrah!
