Dear Supporter:

Each year Valley Shakespeare Festival works tirelessly to put together performances for the Valley community.  This has resulted in homeless individuals seeing a personal professional performance of a play, at no cost to them, school age children interacting with Shakespeare for the first time, and being able to ask questions about, and thousands of people experiencing summer performances of Shakespeare in the Park. 

As valued members of our community that contribute in so many ways to the Valley, we ask that you consider joining us in this work by supporting Valley Shakespeare Festival with a Corporate Sponsorship. 

The encounters with theater each individual has when attending a Valley Shakespeare Festival performance is why we do it.  Our shows provide the opportunity to learn about history, our culture, the arts, and yourself as you interact with the world around you.  Theater is more than “play”, it is  “the reflections of ourselves living our own experiences; or living through crises and conflicts outside of our limited experience, and thus extending our lives and our knowledge of life.” (Dudley Nichols)

As Coronavirus continues and we adapt to the many challenges it creates for live theater, we need your support now more than ever, so when we are able to perform again in person, the theater is ready to welcome you back to the many venues we perform in.  For now we adapt and are able to offer virtual performances of Midsummer Nights Dream, a three person version of “Cyrano de Bergerac” in the park, a two person rendition of “Snow White” at Massaro Farm, and a reading of “The Christmas Carol” through our recently launched podcast.

With your sponsorship, you will support all these innovative ways for us to get theater to our community, and more, as we prepare for the season when Coronavirus no longer dictates how and where we perform.  Will you join us in continuing our mission and serving the community?  Thanks for all your support and we appreciate any way you can help for “The show must go on!”

Sincerely Yours-

Tom Simonetti

Founder/ Artistic Director
