This year will mark the 10th season anniversary of the formation of the Friends of the Thingamajig Theater housed in the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts.
The ‘Friends’ operate in support of professional theater in our community by galvanizing community involvement through social events and provides an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the Theater process.
The recent epidemic has left many theater company stages dark and unable to survive. We are fortunate that our own Thingamajig Theater, despite being closed for 18 months, was able to make it through.
So now it is time to once more celebrate live professional Theater in our community and what better way to do it than join the Friends of the Theater.
We will have a full slate of activities this year that will give members the opportunity to get closer to the Theater experience. This will include the Welcome Party for the actors and crew, Tech Tuesday’s where the Friends provide a dinner for the cast and support personnel, as they bring all the elements of the play together for the first time. There will be a picnic day and the grand farewell party and possibly another special social event. There is the popular “Behind the Scenes” presentation where various aspects of Theater are explored.
All of these events are exclusive for members of the Friends organization.
Membership is $35.00 per year ($70.00 per couple) and you can purchase your membership online by going to the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, here, where you can also find more information on the Friends organization.
If you wish to pay by check you can send your check to Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, 2313 Eagle Drive, Pagosa Springs, Colorado 81147. Make the check payable to Thingamajig Theater and mark ‘Friends Membership’ on the check.
We look forward to seeing you at the Theater for the exciting summer season.
