COURAGE IS RESISTANCE, COMMUNITY IS RESILIENCE

Dear Community,

If not us, who? If not now, when?

Artists and audiences alike have the power to turn this culture-defining moment into community-defining response. What better way to turn courage into action than by deepening your support for Raven Theatre — at a time it’s needed most.

Throughout history, we have been able to look to the arts, the theatre, and artists, to help reflect, respond, and remind us of who we are, who we are meant to be, and — with courage — what we’re capable of.

This time is not different.

Navigating the uncertainty of this moment will require connection, community – and, importantly, courage. And, as challenging as this moment might be, (and it is challenging) we mustn’t shy away.

We look to the theatre to help us make sense — to serve as a mirror, a guide, and yes, a call to action.
We look to this theater to connect us — though stories, through culture, through community. Through each other.

This is an appeal for courage.

Courage to lean in. To show up. To Keep Cool. And to Give Hope. To take pride in our convictions — our investments in artists, in work that welcomes all of us, and invites us to connect more deeply to the values that shape our culture.

Because if not now, when? If not us, who? We believe the Raven Theatre community is made for this.
