Friends! Please support FRANK THEATRE on GIVE TO THE MAX as we celebrate FRANK'S RETURN TO THE STAGE after 3 1/2 YEARS! AND ON TOP OF THAT... IT'S FRANK THEATRE'S 35TH ANNIVERSARY!
I joined Frank five years ago after seeing WENDY KNOX at where else... THE VIKING BAR! RIP Viking Bar :( But I instantly realized that Frank was the place for me. Wendy shakes the cage in everything she does and pushes the audience and performers beyond their comfort levels to the point where they learn something knew about live theater and themselves. I'm damn proud to be a FRANKER and I know the important work of highlighting a variety of social, political and cultural issues will continue.
AND IT WILL CONTINUE NOW CUZ WE'RE BACK!
Last year, Frank staged its first play in 3 1/2 years - the world premiere of Trista Baldwin’s new work - FETAL (a play about abortion!)
After that, Wendy kept the Frank engine burning when we staged IRONBOUND (a play about immigration).
NEXT UP - Frank will be staging a NEW play about immigration in January 2025! MORE INFO ON THAT SOON!
But as Frank's return to the stage REVS ON, we need your help!
This year, Frank is celebrating its 35th anniversary! WOW! 35 years of producing smart, challenging theatre that includes world premieres, musicals, area premieres, a lot of Bertolt Brecht, some stunning performances staged in the least likely venues, and plenty of food for thought.
Keeping the lights on for a small, rough and tough theater company during a pandemic has been no easy task, but WE DID IT! AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO PUSH ON AFTER OUR 1ST SEASON OF PLAYS IN 3 1/2 YEARS!!!
Any help you can offer to help us get to the strongest possible position to do so will be greatly appreciated!
