December 2024

Dear Fellow Musical Theatre Lover,

As the curtains close on another remarkable year at Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we've shared. Thanks to your generous support, this year has been filled with the magic of storytelling, the joy of live performance that we bring to our beloved community, and the exhilaration we get from watching our cast and crew grow in their talents and careers.

Meet David, a talented performer whose journey with Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre has been nothing short of inspiring. For the past several years, David has performed in 12 Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre productions, and this past season, he landed his first lead role with the theatre, playing Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors. 

It was during this past season that David was scouted for his first national tour (launching this January) - a dream come true for him, and a testament to the professional performing arts environment that your support helps create.

David's story is a shining example of how your contributions impact the lives of artists and enrich the cultural tapestry of our community. Your generosity supports more than just performances, it fuels dreams, elevates careers, and keeps the arts alive for everyone to enjoy.

Your contributions have been instrumental in our ability to produce professional musical theatre that uplifts and inspires audiences of all ages. Each performance, each note, and each laugh shared in our theatre is a testament to your belief in the transformative power of the arts.

As we look ahead to another season of spectacular productions, I invite you to continue being a vital part of our community by considering a gift to Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre.

- Support our endowment: Help secure the future of Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre for generations to come.
- Join our Enduring Encore Legacy Society: By including us in your estate planning. Leave a legacy that ensures the arts continue to flourish in our community.

Your continued generosity not only supports the arts but also nurtures a community that values creativity and joy. Together, we can keep the spirit of live theatre alive and vibrant in the Coeur d'Alene region.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication and belief in our mission. With your help, we can look forward to another year filled with unforgettable performances and shared experiences that bind us together.

Enthusiastically,
