Full Version of "Antigone" released to increased list of Community Partners
I am happy to be writing with such excellent news. Even with the amazing challenges presented to us we have been able to successfully film Antigone, using social distantancing practices, and will be distributing it to even more audiences than was originally intended. When so many other theatre companies are waiting and/or not producing anything during this time; our board, artists, and staff found a safe way to reach our audiences. I am amazingly proud of everyone involved and thankful for their tireless work and good humor over the last six months.
Our original goal was to reach between 2,500-3,000 audience members with our tour of Antigone. I am happy to report that our reach will now exceed 18,000 incarcerated audience members. Antigone will be shown in every single ODOC and Oregon Youth Authority facility in the state. In addition, we have also increased our list of community partners to include more shelters, rural schools, and community centers.
We will keep working to reach our audiences, but this is a big win for our organization. Thank you all for your support!
