Supporting Theatre Pro Rata during Hibernation

Like all theater in the world, TPR was shuttered by COVID-19. We are a micro-organization with little operational overhead, but we are using our dormant time of hibernation as a time of growth.  

We created an Equity, Inclusion, & Diversity Statement to partner with our Harassment Policy and its supplement: our Fight Choreography & Intimacy Procedure. We drafted and perfected our COVID Action Plan.  These documents are public facing and now included with audition notices, designer postings, and board member asks. 

This fall we resumed connecting our artists and audience with our Pro Rata Playreading Series via Zoom. As science continues to unify on safe protocols, we are confident in our plans for in-person theatrical experiences again.  Two things that we need to keep artists and audience safe: a low max capacity for the audience and additional staff to implement the elements of our Covid19 Action Plan.  That simple shift in budget (less income and more expense) makes meeting our Matching Goal of $4,000 imperative to success. Our audience is craving in-person theater, and our robust COVID Action Plan (with clear guidelines from the state of MN) make it possible.

We are not just in a holding pattern… we will be there for this new normal. We are the ants, not the grasshoppers: there is preparation and activity while underground, and with your help as we are squirreling away for winter and using this time as a period of dormant growth. We are not just in a holding pattern… we will be there for the new normal.
