Grateful to Our Season Sponsors

At the end of last winter, when many of our sponsors originally agreed to sponsor shows in the 2020-2021 season, none of us had any idea that a pandemic would throw a wrench in the works and most productions would be cancelled, postponed, or dramatically changed, including our Broadway Series. These companies were flexible, and willingly changed their focus, sometimes multiple times, as our season evolved. They always had a consistent view towards the value and importance of the performing arts in our community.

Many sponsors agreed to come together in an unprecedented way, to sponsor THT Repertory’s A Christmas Carol Reimagined film production. With their help, we are able to offer a tiered pricing strategy to our customers that includes a subsidized option and provides access to A Christmas Carol Reimagined for as little as $5. Without the collaborative help of Assumption University, Bartholomew & Co, Cornerstone Bank, Country Bank, The Club at Rockland Trust, Worcester Academy and Worcester State University, this would not have been possible.

Others saw enormous value in ensuring that students around the state are able to experience the arts, even in our current circumstance, and have stepped up to sponsor virtual student matinees of A Christmas Carol Reimagined, The Stories of Peter and the Wolf & Hansel and Gretel and more. Sponsors like Reliant Medical Group, Unibank and Worcester State University are helping to ensure that the arts remain an accessible part of the education received by Worcester County students.

The aid our sponsors give us is always invaluable. This year, it is especially wonderful to have their support as we all navigate these tricky waters together.

Beloved Tradition Continues Through Commitment to the Arts

Berkshire Bank, who has sponsored our stage production of The Nutcracker for many years, continues to support this annual tradition in a new way. While the main stage remains closed to public performances, our conservatory students have the unique opportunity to perform all of the roles and present it as a virtual recital that showcases our many talented dancers by class level. Ava Tselios is playing Clara in The Nutcracker this year. She is photographed with Jennifer Agbay, director of dance at The Hanover Theatre Conservatory. The Nutcracker, sponsored by Berkshire Bank will be streamed online December 20 for conservatory families.
