Happy New Year friends of Persephone!
On behalf of Persephone Productions I would like to give a big thank you to all
who donated so generously to the company over the last year. I cannot stress enough
how helpful your generosity is to the company and our emerging artists. I hope you
will continue to participate in the growing success of Persephone.
10 years already?
2010 marks a very important year for Persephone. It is the tenth year of operation!
To celebrate this remarkable achievement a special fund raising Gala was planned.
The performance featured myself onstage with some of our alumni: Rebecca
Croll (Emilia in Othello - 2008) who was last year's recipient of the Elsa Bolam
Award, Christopher Moore (Iago in Othello - 2008), Aaron Turner
(Hart in Unity (1918) - 2007 and Melchior in Spring Awakening - 2006),
with well known pianist Ian Smith at the piano.
We performed extracts from many of the past productions and gave you a sample of what is to come!
Many of you who attended our most recent shows Cherry Docs and Be My Baby,
saw for yourselves the wonderful opportunities that these productions gave to our emerging
artists. The high standard of Theatre that was achieved is now a hallmark of our company.
I enjoyed performing for you alongside some of the artists that you have directly helped.
Warmest wishes,
Gabrielle Soskin
Artistic Director
P.S. Next Production:
Fall 2010 - Henry V
