SEASON RECAP

Dear Friends, What a year! Grosse Pointe Theatre took advantage of its 75th Anniversary season to celebrate with its donors and patrons as a community theatre whose future is even brighter and more promising than its exceptional history. By every metric this year was a resounding success: our fundraising exceeded expectations; our donors were engaged and generous; our volunteer participation increased and our shows continued to entertain audiences and reached a broader community of attendees than ever before! The exclamation points to this year’s success are the multiple national and local awards and accolades GPT has received. This newsletter will recap the year’s highlights.

Wow! As we close out this memorable year we are thankful to you, our donors and patrons, whose support– both large and small– help us bring quality theatre to our community as we work toward our goal of continued artistic growth and regional theatre presence in our new performance home at the Schaap Center. We are especially grateful to the John A. and Marlene L. Boll Foundation, who sponsored Youth on Stage’s Little Mermaid, the Richard and Jane Manoogian Foundation, the Community Foundations for Southeast Michigan, the A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Foundation and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation grant, whose support provided the seed money for GPT to offer Sensory performances which will be an annual offering at GPT.

As we prepare for our next 75 years of exceptional theatre, GPT encourages your feedback so we can give you, our donors and patrons, the community theatre you want.

We hope you enjoyed this year of theatre. And as always, please plan to give to GPT today to become part of an extraordinary GPT tomorrow!

Sensory Performances Share the Gift of Theatre

With the generous support of the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation, GPT was provided the seed money to offer Sensory-Friendly performances to the community. This year our mainstage production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Youth on Stage’s The Little Mermaid, Jr., were both conducive to sensory-friendly performances.
