Endowment Campaign Priorities
DEAR FRIENDS,
Since 1966, Creede Repertory Theatre has been dedicated to telling stories that endure. Stories that transfix the imagination, capture the heart, challenge long-held certainties, and inspire action. Beautiful stories have been told on our stages for years, and there are many more to tell. Classic stories, contemporary stories, not-yet-written stories, stories for young audiences, and stories for new audiences. And most importantly, stories that endure. You have been an integral part of Creede Repertory Theatre’s success, and we invite you to set the stage for years to come. An endowment on par with other cultural institutions will allow CRT to maintain and enhance our programming. As a committed partner in our annual operating efforts, we ask you to join us in our effort to endow this important cultural organization and ensure that our theatre is here to inspire generations to come. With warm regard,
Catherine Augur, Executive Director Jessica Jackson, Artistic Director Morton Weir, Endowment Campaign Chair Richard Sloan, CRT Board of Trustees President
