Shakespeare Santa Cruz Artistic Director Makes the Case for ART

Marco Barricelli, Artistic Director for Shakespeare Santa Cruz, a professional repertory theatre company in residence at the University of California, Santa Cruz, addresses a community gathering on Monday, December 15, the day it was announced that the nonprofit company had to raise $300,000 in one week - a challenge presented by its host University - or their doors would be closed forever. Updates on the effort are available at www.shakespearesantacruz.org

Hello, Irondale!

Our thoughts are with you. It can be done. None of us are out of the woods by any means, even with a successful effort. It is an opportunity for people to decide what is important to them in their daily lives, and culture remains essential, not optional. Best of luck to you and all kindred souls. - Dana W. @ SSC
