The arts matter. National education research1 shows that the arts promote cooperation, cultural understanding and tolerance of different viewpoints. They boost communication skills, heighten empathy and lift self-esteem. The arts engage learners through auditory, visual, tactile and kinesthetic activities; students of all abilities — including those with learning difficulties, limited English proficiency or behavior problems — can experience success and fulfillment through experiences in the arts. In addition, the arts can strengthen understanding of other core subjects, including reading, writing, math, science, social studies and languages

Lisa Ayn Pritchard comments on Much Ado About "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

I saw the show today! I actually cried. I was so moved by the performance. Everyone said their lines with such passion. It made you laugh and hold your breath. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. The weather in Newburyport was just perfect. The ocean smells, the flowers, the shops everything was just how I dreamt it would be (when I was bundled up in winter clothes putting wood in the wood burning stove all winter). Wishing Spring was near, and I would be able to take in a wonderful show....as I did. I tip my hat to all the actors and those cute little baby fairies. They really made it look like they were flying around!

Thank you so so much. I will cherish this day.

Kind regards,
Lisa

If you recieve another grant you should consider getting a flying rig. There could be many more production possibilities in the future with that!

I think the New Works Festival is one of the best programs that the Firehouse has! I look forward to seeing this year's plays.
