Welcome to the new Fox Valley Repertory (formerly Noble Fool Theatricals) – the largest professional, award-winning theater in the Fox Valley area. After several years of growth, we have expanded our vision and wanted our name to represent you and our community. From outstanding productions to the area’s largest Performing Arts Academy, Fox Valley Repertory will continue to create memorable moments for you, provide significant opportunities for youth in our area to explore the power of theatre and use that power to improve their lives and prepare them to be successful, contributing members of our community. Of course all of this is only possible with you. It’s a great time to become more involved with us. You can still become a subscriber. We are offering the lowest subscription price in the area to celebrate our new name and mission. You don’t want to miss out on the rest of our terrific season of shows. But as a non-profit, ticket sales only account for 70% of our budget. We must rely on grants, sponsorships and donations to make up the rest. Recently, we have added outstanding community members to our Board of Directors, and both our corporate sponsors and individual donors have seen increases. It’s thrilling to see our community make a commitment to the arts. You too can play a part. Consider making a tax deductible donation at www.foxvalleyrep.org/support.htm. We need your support! Each show is a chance for us to create a shared moment with you. In that moment, we hope to connect to the human experience. A community with a strong emphasis on the arts is a healthy community, one that is constantly moving forward and sharing stories that build bridges between generations. We look forward to your continued support as we strive to share these stories with you.
All the Best,
John Gawlik Artistic Director Fox Valley Repertory
