On March 11, Governor Kate Brown announced new recommendations regarding the need to cancel large events in response to COVID-19 and its effect on our community. In light of this announcement, we’ve decided to cancel our gala, Saturday, April 4. Due to the intensity of our season schedule, we are not able to reschedule this event.

This was a difficult decision to make as this is our only fundraiser for the season: we rely on the funds raised at the gala to ensure Clackamas Rep’s ability to continue our 16-year tradition of producing quality theatre close to home.

With performances and public events being cancelled, the arts are suffering an undeniable financial loss. Our goal is to raise $50,000 by April 4 and we can’t do it without your support. To give you an idea of how crucial those funds are to the success of our 2020 season, $50,000 would pay for:

• The entire first show, The Book Club Play or
• The actors and royalties for The Sound of Music or
• Set design and materials for the season

Please help us raise the funds needed to continue to provide professional theatre in Clackamas County. If you purchased a ticket to the gala, we hope you’ll consider that purchase as a fully tax-deductible contribution to Clackamas Rep.

We also invite you to give online by participating in our virtual paddle raise.

We deeply appreciate your support and understanding as we all navigate these difficult times together.

Thank you so very much,
David Smith-English, Artistic Director
