To the editor:
Some would say Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ is a small city with small city resources … not my experience. From my first inquiring phone-call to them letting us know the items we’d forgotten on stage, I felt the staff of the Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ Community Theatre did not treat me like a facility rental but they were partners in our event and they were committed to helping us create a big-city quality experience.
This past week, Global Citizen Events hosted an event at the Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ Community Theatre. As a group of volunteers, none of us had much experience with all that goes into producing a show, but through the amazing support and guidance of the theatre staff, we were able to pull off a professionally orchestrated event.
Kudos to them all and also to their volunteer support team. Although the Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ Community Theatre is aging and the foyer size was limited for our charities trade-show, the staff helped us utilize it efficiently and gracefully worked through some of our first-time organizing an event bloopers. Our show was complicated – with a rock band, a visual artist needing exact lighting, a SKYPE interview, multiple panel guests, but it all came off seamlessly. Again, heartfelt thanks to the staff and volunteers. Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ is definitely Big-City in the arts.
