Message from the Artistic Director

So we are on a one season producing hiatus.  We are taking a breather so that we can take a step back and re-shape Journeymen Theater (just a bit) into a truly unique and important voice here within the Washington theater community.  We are working hard to re-emerge leaner, stronger, and more focused.  I believe in this theater company, the people who work with us, and what we represent.  So during this season we will band together to realize our full potential as a company and as individuals.

We will continue to produce small-scale readings and other theatrical offerings during this hiatus season.  The company will also continue to aggressively fundraise in preparation for the 2010/2011 season.

I want to stress that this hiatus does not signal any kind of end for Journeymen Theater.  We are surrounded by companies taking steps very similar to ours:  staff furloughs, cancellations or delays in productions, etcetera.  This speaks to a larger issue: how will theater companies continue to produce in this challenging economic environment and heavily saturated community.  We intend to use our hiatus to address these questions and prepare ourselves for the next step in JTE’s journey.

As Journeymen Theater works hard to remove all remaining debt, which is thankfully within reach, before moving forward, any size donation would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your continued support and I look forward to seeing you at the theater soon!

Deborah
