A note from Murray Chase – May 9, 2023
So…it’s been over seven months—223 days—since Hurricane Ian blew us up.
Everywhere we go, and at every performance, we answer many of the same questions. What’s been happening? What’s still to come? The time frame? The cost? All of the answers we have can be found on the hurricane recovery page of our website by clicking HERE.
So far, our community’s response has been rapid, heartwarming, and invigorating. Local arts organizations, human services groups, foundations, businesses, and city officials offered immediate help: classroom and office space, operating support, storage, and more. Our friends from around the nation—and the world— sent heartfelt wishes and financial gifts.
To all who have helped over the last several months, we send a huge “thank you.” We will continue to need many things in the next several months to make a full comeback. Your encouragement is vital. If you can send help, please do so. We will be forever grateful.
Together, sooner rather than later, and stronger than ever, “we will find a way.”
