Community Update

June 29, 2022

As we move into the summer, we’re grateful to be sharing a community update on the 2021-2022 season.

It was an equally challenging and inspiring season here at Prairie Theatre Exchange. As we all navigated COVID, the Omicron wave, and eventually re-opening(s), we have remained open, agile, and responsive. We have also dedicated ourselves to continuing all of the work of the company, on stage and off.

Through it all we have been buoyed by the imagination of artists, the dedication of audiences, and the support of funders. We wouldn’t be here, where we are today, without community, in all its forms.

ACCESSIBILITY

In previous community updates we reported that we were committing to fully accessible live performances at Prairie Theatre Exchange in 2022.

We are pleased to share that we offered ASL, Audio Described (with VIEW), and Relaxed performances of Outside Joke in May.

For 2022-2023, we have included these three accessible performances as part of our production calendar for every live show in the season.

These are a summary of major activities at the company this past season. They can’t encapsulate the entire journey, but we are inspired by what we’ve learned, what we’ve accomplished, and we are clear about the work ahead of us. And, as always, we’re ready for the unknown.

We’ll post another community update in the fall, and we already know there will be so much to share…

On behalf of everyone at Prairie Theatre Exchange, thank you for reading, and for engaging with our theatre and company.
