Dear EP Family,
Well, I finally did two things to thrust me into the 21st century - I opened a Facebook account and I got an Ipod! I did not intend to do these two things at the same time, let alone in the same day, but life happens and you follow its lead. Life happens at the Erie Playhouse every day. The EP staff and board experience it, react to it, deal with it, learn from it, and follow its lead. We live every working day on our toes! We are lucky to have one constant factor in all of this and it's you, the Erie Playhouse Family. You are with us 24/7; you are our backbone, our brain and our heart to get things done for the right reasons. Thank you for always being there when we need you, whether on stage, behind the scenes, in the pit, working front-of-house, in the audience or a phone call away. We have an exciting future here at the Erie Playhouse - we are so glad you are with us along the way! See you at the theatre, AlmiDID YOU KNOW? The Erie Playhouse will release it's first-ever Annual Report this month? Look for your 2009 Annual Report in the mail or online by Thanksgiving. We look forward to your feedback on it!
