ArtsWest Celebrates Record-Breaking 2016-17 Season - Before the Season Opens!

For the first time since opening our doors at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in 1999, the total number of season subscriptions before the season openshas surpassed the prior year's end-of-season total. Subscriptions goals are normally met or surpassed by the end of a given season, but this year we are celebrating before the season even begins. There are other reasons why 2016 is a remarkable year for ArtsWest: in addition to a record-setting revenue for season subscribers, the number of subscribers is at an all-time high for any season opening in our history.

From Laura Lee, ArtsWest Managing Director: "This is a remarkable moment. We are incredibly fortunate to have a base of loyal patrons who believe in our work, support our vision and share their excitement for the work we do. We welcome everyone to take a journey with us as we embark on our new season."

ArtsWest will celebrate again tomorrow, Thursday, September 22, when the 2016-17 season officially opens with the Richard Eyre adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts. The 2016-17 season continues with Peter and the Starcatcher (November 17 - December 23), Mothers and Sons(January 19 - February 11), Milk Like Sugar (March 2 - March 25), Frozen (April 20 - May 14), and concludes with Sweeney Todd (June 1 - July 1).
