Support the Croswell

Dear Croswell supporter,

I have to tell you about my friend Libby.

Libby is an eight-year-old who has appeared in a few Croswell shows, including our summer camp performances. She’s talented, smart and funny, and Libby loves the Croswell. She loves it so much that last spring she handed me a pledge card that she had filled out herself. She had decided to use her Christmas money to make a gift to the Croswell … and now she is one of the newest members of our Charles M. Croswell Society!

Libby is an inspiration to me, and I think if you knew her, you’d be inspired too. Her gift, and those of others like her, helped create so many beautiful moments this summer. Maybe you experienced a few of them with us …

• Clapping along with the roof-raising sound of “Take Me to Heaven” and “Raise Your Voice” in our recent production of Sister Act.
• Being moved to tears by our cast’s wonderful performances in the musical Violet.
• Seeing The Music Man, where young Amaryllis was played by the great-granddaughter of a Croswell friend who performed in the very same show nearly fifty years ago.

Has your life been touched by the Croswell? Will you join Libby in showing your love for this theater by making a gift today?

Your love and support will help us continue to bring great theater to our community, creating wonderful experiences for people of all ages!

We are so grateful for you and all of our friends! We are excited to continue growing and sharing the love of theater with you.

We hope you’ll join Libby and support the Croswell today!

Sincerely,

Jere Righter, artistic director
