Dear Stage 284 Family,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to "The Addams Family!" Our Production Team of Bobby Kerrigan, Joe Stroup, Kelly Murphy, Cat Stramer and Rebecca Matthias have outdone themselves on this one, creating a spooky, ooky and altogether kooky experience for our actors and our community. Every day I am astounded by the local support our tiny theater is offered and every day I am reminded how special it really is to create art in this space.

In June I was given the opportunity to join the staff of The Community House as the Managing Producer and Director of Education for Stage 284. I know what kind of company I have been entrusted with, one that produces high quality productions for youth and adults while serving as a space in the community to entertain, celebrate and explore the arts. Each day I come to work, I am greeted with a smile, serenaded with a song and challenged to produce theater of the best quality for our community. I hope that you know the support you have all given Stage 284 has made this production. It is because of patrons like you that we are able to continue our programming and productions and I am forever grateful that you chose to support the arts today by coming to the theater today!

I am excited and priviledged to announce our upcoming season, and with it, our new Youth Company! You asked for it, and we heard you, it is time the talented youth of the North Shore have a space at Stage 284 to take on a scope of roles, develop their craft with master classes and pursue their passions with after school workshops!

Our ambitious season is not to be missed and we want you all to be a part of it! Get involved by visiting Stage284.org today, like us on Facebook, or find me after the show to talk about opportunities on and off the stage. At The Community House, we know we are better when we work together! Thank you for your support. Enjoy this spook-tacular spectacle!

 My very best,
