As we begin reflecting on our summer season, we wanted to take a moment to recognize everyone who supported us in 2026. Thanks to all of you, we were able to put on four fantastic productions, remount one beloved adventure, train six wonderful interns, and keep the legacy of Chester Theatre alive for our 37th season.
These donations funded everything from sets and costumes to salaries for our artists to rehearsal spaces. We could not be more grateful. Without you, Chester Theatre couldn’t be your “gem of the valley” year after year.
To our donors, we want to take a moment to apologize that many of you were left out of our season program. While this oversight cannot be amended just through an email, we want to ensure that you and your impact on this organization are properly recognized. You enable us to keep creating adventurous, exciting work that keeps audiences coming back for more intimate, immediate conversations.
Thank you for another incredible season, and we look forward to seeing all of you back in our audiences next year!
Thank you,
Hannah Williams
