Hello theatre friends!

Suddenly, it’s 2024, and Act II of the theatre season is about to begin. Yes there’s more — more of the live theatre experience that’s such a defining part of the city. And it’s my joy and privilege to write about it.

It’s the right moment to thank you, dear readers of 12thnight.ca, for your support and encouragement, for sticking with me through a time of tough challenges for the performing arts everywhere. It’s been inspiring to see the creativity, ingenuity, and persistent our valiant theatre artists have brought to meeting them.

Covering theatre here, independently, outside the vagaries of the mainstream media, is what 12thnight.ca is for. I hope you’ve been enjoying the content which has been, so far, free. And I’m hoping that you’ll be up for chipping in a monthly amount to my Patreon campaign to enable 12thnight.ca coverage of Edmonton’s theatre season to continue. That support from readers is, solely, 100 per cent, what makes it possible. Here’s the link (www.patreon.com/12thnight). Spread the word, as only theatre people can.

If you’re already signed on as a 12thnight.ca patron, I’m so grateful. 12thnight can’t continue without your support.

Meanwhile, we’ll see each other, live and in person, in a theatre soon. Happy new year! And thanks again.

Liz
