Why We Need Your Support

The Balagula Theatre Company's production of "Selected Works of Samuel Beckett", that includes "Play" & "Not I" was presented at the Kentucky Theatre Association's State Annual Conference on November 14th, and won the Community Theatre Best Performance Award!

Other awards the Balaguligans brought home are:

  • "Best Actor in a Leading Role" – Ryan Case
  • "Best Director" – Natasha Williams & Ryan Case
  • "Best Lighting Design" – Gareth Evans
  • "Best Scenic Design" – Gareth Evans

None of this would have happened without your generosity, your trust, and your support. We view our victory as a direct result of our communal efforts to keep theatre art alive and strong. Please, accept our congratulations and our deepest gratitude for supporting the arts.

This makes the Balagula Theatre Company one of only TWO community theatres in Kentucky, and the only theatre in Lexington, eligible to participate and compete at the regional level.

UNFORTUNATELY...

Unfortunately, the costs of registration and participation represent a significant draw on Balagula Theatre's resources currently allocated to upcoming productions, educational and outreach programs.

A unique opportunity is upon us. With the SETC in our hometown, Lexington theatre artists will have an opportunity to get inspired with new ideas and challenged by the best theatre work the region can offer. Moreover, with the many workshops, lectures and demonstrations on offer at the conference we have a chance to develop and become better connected to the national theatre community.

With your help we can make it possible.

Your generous gift of $25, $50 or $100 dollars or more will not only help the home team in the upcoming competition, but will represent our community's support of the performing arts. Help us promote Kentucky not only as a state with rich cultural heritage, but also a state with rich cultural present.

Sincerely,
Ryan Case and Natasha Williams
Artistic/Managing Co-Directors
