December 21, 2020
After an incredibly challenging year for everyone in the live entertainment sector—and in the wider communities that we live in—we knew that this holiday season would be an especially difficult time for many. So, we decided to divert our resources to helping those communities and have a little fun in the process! But we didn't want to do it without the support and input from the people within those communities—you. Over the month of December, we ran a holiday quiz so that you could help us select a deserving arts organization and a community charity to win a monetary donation.
The quiz put your knowledge of Theatre Projects, our team, and our work to the test, and we were thrilled to see so many participants. The number of responses we received is a testament to our shared sense of fun and collaboration, but also an acknowledgement that our communities are suffering and need help. We're here to support these communities in any way we can until these difficult times are behind us and we're back to being able to safely meet, play, and work together in person again.
We’re delighted to announce the winners of our 2020 Holiday Quiz:
