2011: A New Season, a New Name
August 31st, 2010Today we are very proud to announce exciting news and a new direction for our organization. Noble Fool Theatricals will become Fox Valley Repertory in 2011; the largest professional, award-winning theater in the Fox Valley area.
This decision took nearly 2 years to make, plan, and finally execute – and I couldn’t be happier to be finally announcing it to you now.
What will change? I assure you that you can still count on outstanding productions, because we are not a new organization. Our staff is the same, dedicated team. However, after several years of growth, we have expanded our mission and vision, and we simply wanted our name to represent you, and our community.
Being a part of St. Charles and the Fox Valley is truly a privilege. Each show is a chance for us to create a shared moment with you. In that moment, we hope to connect to our human experience. We try to evoke laughter and love on the stage; we sometimes deal with difficult problems and sensitive issues as well. All of this creates the fabric of a vital, local arts organization, one that serves as a reminder and a celebration of our common humanity. A community with a strong emphasis on the arts will be a healthy community, one that is constantly moving forward and sharing stories that build bridges between generations.
As Fox Valley Repertory, we will continue to create memorable moments for you and provide significant opportunities for the youth of our area to explore the power of theater and use that power to improve their lives and prepare them to be successful, contributing members of the community.
As for the 2011 Season, let me tell you about it now!
2011 begins with heartfelt laughs and nostalgic memories with Leaving Iowa, a hilarious comedy about those dreaded family vacations. Then get ready for the sweetest musical this side of heaven with Always Patsy Cline, an uplifting tribute to the late country singer. The summer brings us the adventure comedy Around the World in 80 Days, based on Jules Verne’s classic novel. Your subscription will conclude with the Hit Broadway Comedy Musical, They’re Playing Our Song, Neil Simon’s memorable romantic comedy.
Now is the time to become a 2011 Subscriber!
Something completely new is our inaugural season pricing, where every subscription package is either $65 (for preview weeks) or $80. Four shows. Just $65-$80. I’m not sure you can find a deal like this anywhere else in the area. Really, where else can you go to see professional theater for just$16.25 per ticket? This is our treat to the community. And please tell all your friends about this special pricing for 2011 only!
I hope you’re just as excited about these changes as we are. And please visit www.noblefool.org or www.foxvalleyrep.org to watch our special video clip or read more about the season line-up.
Welcome to Fox Valley Repertory!
Sincerely,
John Gawlik
Artistic Director
Noble Fool Theatricals, soon-to-be Fox Valley Repertory
