A Midwinter's Dream: It takes a village!

It’s that time of year again: time for our Midwinter’s Dream Holiday Campaign! The time of year where we reach out to you, our village, to celebrate the seasons past and dream about the summers ahead… 

At Repercussion Theatre, we often say “It takes a village” and it’s true. Theatre doesn’t happen without the dedication and energy of many, many people. From onstage, off-stage, in the audience and behind-the-scenes, Repercussion relies on the support and participation of our entire “village,” which of course includes YOU. In return, we hope that we bring you joy, wonder, excitement, magic, and some thoughtful questions; but most of all, we hope that we bring people together. 

This holiday season we are hoping to raise $8,000 which will go towards the development and success of next summer’s Shakespeare-in-the-Park tour. Producing and touring professional theatre to communities across Montreal and Quebec, without ever charging for a single ticket is a herculean effort — and individual donations are an integral part of that effort. Every donation, no matter how big or small, plays an integral role in hiring artists and support staff, funding our tour,  and keeping the spirit of live professional theatre alive! 

Of course, donations aren’t the only support we value! Our village also includes volunteers, board members, staff, park representatives, audiences and many others who share their time and talent to support us in what we do. As part of this year’s campaign, we’re highlighting some of those who make Shakespeare-in-the-Park possible. We’ll be sharing quotes and photos from them on social media, so be sure to follow along. We also invite you to share your own stories about why you want Repercussion to remain part of your village. Post a photo of you at one of our shows and a quote about why Repercussion matters to you, and tag us on your favourite socials platform! Or email us at comms@repercussiontheatre.com. At the end of the campaign, we’ll select two lucky villagers (one who donates and one who shares a photo/quote) to receive a VIP package for next summer’s Shakespeare-in-the-Park show!

Thank you for being a part of our village. We know that together we will continue to make accessible and impactful theatre more than just a midwinter’s dream.
