� Why Summer Theatre and the Redlands Theatre Festival Need You Now More Than Ever �There’s a special kind of magic that only happens in summer theatre — when a patch of grass becomes a stage, a barn becomes a playhouse, and strangers become an artistic family overnight.
But behind that magic? There’s a whole lot of hustle.
� We build an entire season in just a few weeks.
No soft launch. No warm-up period. It’s “go big right now” or the moment is gone.
� We only have one short window to earn income.
Ticket sales and donations must cover the entire year — all while production costs continue to rise.
� And because we’re seasonal, we don’t get year-round visibility.
While other theatres stay in the public eye, we disappear each fall — and must rebuild our audience and brand recognition from scratch every summer. Every season is both a celebration and a comeback.
� Meanwhile, audiences are buying tickets later than ever.
We never truly know if a show will be full until the lights are about to go up.
⸻
� That’s Why We’re Hosting a One-of-a-Kind Fundraising Event!
NOSFERATU!— happening October 25, 2025 at the Redlands Theatre Festival in Prospect Park.
This isn’t your typical gala. Expect:
� The original silent film set to live music by Patrick Doran-Sheeran
� Donation bar
� Spooky vibes and an opportunity to come in costume
It’s not just a fundraiser — it’s a celebration of everything that makes summer theatre worth fighting for.
