Lose Yourself to Find Yourself. The theme for Local’s 13th season of new plays and theatrical works captures the experience of creating and attending live theater. Theater requires us to dive deep into a story, allow for the uncertainty that comes with not knowing where it’s headed, and let ourselves be changed by the experience. The best theater expands our thinking, makes us question our perspective, and connects us to one another. The best theater builds trust that allows us to lose ourselves, knowing that there’s more to find. 

As our 12th season comes to a close, we have a lot to celebrate! We welcomed more audience members than any other season in our history, we expanded our in-school literacy program and hundreds of audience members engaged in our Come Together series.  These achievements have us contemplating what worked well and where we have room to grow next season.
