tKAPOW is GROWING, and YOU can take us even further!
Season 16 took off running in July when we added a whole new production to our calendar - two, in fact! Shakespeare on the Green at Saint Anselm College allowed us to return to Macbeth, and welcome an amazing all female company to create a delightfully funny A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
In late August, tKAPOW was honored to be named a Senior Fellow of the New Hampshire Dance Collaborative’s Accelerator program. “Expressive movement—whether in dance or theater—can open minds and provide deeper insight into the human condition,” NH Dance Collaborative founder Joan Brodsky said. “It’s undeniable that KAPOW is courageously taking on an important type of theater and is an enormous benefit to our community.” The Collaborative has already started working with us to strengthen our infrastructure in support of our mission and important initiatives.
And we just keep on growing! In early September, we moved into a larger suite in the Opera Block on Hanover Street in Manchester. This new space has allowed us to bring all of our props, stock set pieces, costumes, lighting and sound equipment into one location, with room to spare. We have a spacious and comfortable lounge for meetings. And the really amazing part is the beautiful rehearsal studio. It allows us to create and work in a space much closer in size to where we perform.
In October we started rehearsals for The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse. We are thrilled to have welcomed a Guest Choreographer and Assistant Intimacy Choreographer to our expanded creative team for this show. We’re in conversation with the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services, and other community partners to expand our impact.
And in November, as we are working in this new studio space, with more artists and new partners, our brains are a-buzz with ideas for more and more programming and opportunities we can create to engage with YOU. Some of those possibilities:
-
Staged Readings like the popular Articulate series
-
Partnerships with neighboring arts organizations
-
Outreach into new communities
-
Workshops with guest artists
You can help us make the most of these new opportunities and keep the growing going! To sustain this momentum will you make a gift to theatre KAPOW this giving season? Your support by December 31 keeps us putting stories on stage to create safe spaces to start conversations to begin to heal communities, families, and hearts.
Thank you for giving us both,
theatre KAPOW
