TRADEMARKT HEATER PRESENTS TER.ORG TRADEMARKTHE A T AILABLE A V A TICKETS Dear Park Square Patron:

Who are you here to connect with today? Is it your spouse, other family members, friends? Or perhaps, you’re here to satisfy and explore your own soul?

Again and again, you tell us that theatre is an important connection point for you (and yours!). The conversations you have in the car on the way home, or afterwards at Meritage, Vieux Carré or Great Waters bring you closer together.

The artists on stage bring their own rich life experiences to this story of how families do (and don’t) connect with each other. They’ve worked hard to help us experience the full range of human emotion found in the script. A show like this can really enlarge our emotional capacity and make us more present in our daily lives.

Thank you so much for choosing Park Square Theatre and this play as one of your connection points. Your time, attention and (for many of you), your tax- deductible contributions are vital to making this work possible.

We hope you have a great time today and are as moved as we are by this play’s final moments. Here’s to a great conversation on the way home!

Gratefully,

Richard Cook, Artistic Director C. Michael-jon Pease, Executive Director, CFRE 651.767.8482 | [email protected] 651.767.8497 | [email protected]

OUR MISSION is to enrich our community by producing and presenting exceptional live theatre that touches the heart, engages the mind and delights the spirit.
