OUR CAMPAIGN WAS A SUCCESS — THANKS TO YOU! 💛
A little late, but for a good reason—we’ve been busy putting your support into action.

Because of you, we’ve continued programs like Presentation Night, Playwright’s Jam, Writers’ & Readers’ Rooms, Mending Circle, and Kitchen Cabarets—and we’re gearing up for a full spring with Spring Writes, Old Greeny Festival, and Earth Day on the Commons.

Your generosity didn’t just help us reach our goal; it’s already making a real difference!

We’re so grateful for this community. More updates soon! 🙌

Thanks to you, our community, we matched our $1000 matching gift and exceeded our $5000 campaign goal!
