Thanks to everyone who took part in Forward Theater Company’s second annual special event, Feast Forward on September 17, 2011.

As part of this very special fundraiser, 22 dinner parties were held across the Madison area in restaurants and private homes, for nearly 300 guests. Thanks to the generous contributions of individuals and businesses, Feast Forward raised more than $15,000 for FTC’s artistic and community outreach programming.

Thanks again for making our 2011 Feast Forward event such a success. We hope you’ll join us for more “feasting” next year! In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you at the theater.

Quotes from last season's Play Club participants:

"I loved the first Play Club experience and look forward to the next.  It was a fantastic
opportunity to watch a rehearsal of the show in progress, to read the script, to speak with the
directors and to discuss the play with folks.  As entertaining OR MORE as the best"book" club
as we chat over coffee/hot chocolate about plays!"
~Lynda S., Madison

"It was a wonderful opportunity to get a feel for
the playwright and begin working out my own sense of the play. The characters
were so vivid on the page that the reading was sheer pleasure, yet the
rehearsal suggested how much more life there can be on the stage. And
what gifts the actors and director shared by permitting us to watch them each
work their own miracles!"
~Jeanne T., Madison
