A NOTE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Photo by Bryce Boyer
Dear Weston Friends, 2020 was a year of profound contradictions. We faced great challenges and welcomed thrilling successes. We were heartbroken when the Covid-19 pandemic forced us to cancel our summer season and we missed our Weston Family—our artists and audiences, our staff and friends—more than words can say. The year also included incredible silver linings. In January and February our second season of Walker Farm Music entertained sold-out audiences with musical artists like Kat Wright and Sugartone Brass Band. And just days before the shutdown, we welcomed the winners of the 14th annual Weston-Ghostlight New Musical Award to Weston. Isabella Dawis and Tidtaya Sinutoke’s new musical, Half the Sky , enchanted audiences with its story of family connection and the exhilarating ambition of mountain climbing. Following the season cancellation, our successful Reimagined Season introduced thousands of new audience members to Weston. Songs for Today returned many of our treasured musical theatre artists to our community via our online platform. And the artists who joined us on Postcard Plays and One Room created surprising and moving new plays that excited our imaginations and recalled to us the great power of the language of theatre. We are especially grateful to all of you and for the many joyful moments when you wrote to remind us of your love for Weston. Due to the great generosity of individuals, local businesses, and foundations who support Weston, as well as thoughtful adjustments to our annual budget, we will close 2020 on budget, with no deficit. Not only is this great news for the present, but it sets us on a strong course as we plan for the future. Covid-19 has taken a toll on us all and the long-term impact on Weston and theatres across the country remains to be seen. Through the dedication of our artists, the strength of our Board, the resilience of our staff, and the stalwart support of our community, Weston is weathering the storm. As we said in April, our beloved theater has withstood flood, fire, war, and hurricanes and we will persevere through this together, too. With warm regards,
Executive Artistic Director Susanna Gellert

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
National Endowment for the Arts CARES ACT - National Grant Award
Weston was honored to receive a $50,000 award from the National Endowment for the Arts as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Awarded in July of 2020, this impactful grant supports our 2021 Education and New Works programs. Weston is proud to be among six exceptional Vermont arts organizations to receive these highly competitive awards. "We know the competition for federal funds is always stiff, but especially now when the arts and culture sector is struggling," said Vermont Arts Council Executive Director Karen Mittelman . "These grants…recognize the incredible value of creativity and artistic practice in the midst of the pandemic, and the vitality that arts organizations bring to our communities.”
2020 Summer Board Match Individual Giving
In the spring of 2020, we were faced with the economic impact of our season cancellation. Our immediate concerns were stability and sustainability. We asked ourselves, "How do we safeguard the theatre's future and ensure we will be here to serve our community for years to come?" We also sought to continue our mission by connecting artists and audiences, supporting new work development, and producing engaging theatrical and cultural events. In that moment of crisis, Weston's Board of Trustees provided extraordinary leadership. Members of the Board increased their giving, and we were able to put into motion a matching gift fundraising campaign. With a goal of raising $50,000 through individual gifts, the Board provided 1:1 matches for all donations to the 2020 Summer Board Match. Our Weston family answered the call. We received 197 donations toward the effort, and raised just over $61,000, well exceeding our goal. This critical support helped us move quickly from crisis to stability, continue our work in 2020, and plan for a bright future.

Vermont Arts Council Arts Partnership
Weston received the Vermont Arts Council's foundational Arts Partnership award for 2020- 2022. This multi-year grant provides unrestricted general operating funds and bolsters Weston's ability to address our community's needs through the arts. We are pleased to be among 30 diverse and dynamic organizations to receive this award, and we
Cultural Facilities Weston was excited to receive $17,605 from the Vermont Arts Council, through the Cultural Facilities grant program, to support stage repairs at the historic Weston Playhouse and upgrades to the theatrical communications system. Weston will match VAC's crucial grant funding for these strategic projects to improve our theatre’s safety and efficiency. Cultural Facilities is part of the Building Communities Grant Programs established by the Vermont Legislature to “help communities preserve important historic buildings and enhance community facilities.” The Council partners with the Historical Society and the Division for Historic Preservation to administer the program. Weston is one of 17 arts and community organizations from across the state to receive this funding for 2021. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Weston Community Association for their support and assistance with this successful application and project. "It's critical for us to invest in the downtown theaters, grange halls, arts centers and other community buildings that make up Vermont's cultural infrastructure, especially now. We're proud to support these important projects that foster cultural vitality and to ensure that the arts are accessible to all,” said VAC Executive Director Karen Mittelman. “The Vermont Arts Council envisions a Vermont where all people have access to the arts and creativity in their lives, education, and communities. Engagement with the arts transforms individuals, connects us more deeply to each other, energizes the economy, and sustains the vibrant cultural landscape that makes Vermont a great place to live. Since 1965, the Council has been the state's primary provider of funding, advocacy, and information for the arts in Vermont.” Learn more. 7 are honored to serve the Council's mission to "Cultivate and advance the arts and creativity throughout Vermont." The Arts Council's programs are made possible by funding from the State of Vermont, which matches federal dollars from the National Endowment for the Arts.

ARTISTIC UPDATE
One Room explored the events of this year by looking at our homes as spaces of possibility and creativity. In May, we commissioned 14 of America’s leading playwrights to create one person plays that respond to the present moment and explore the questions, “What makes a home? What stories might be hiding in its ordinary rooms?” Writers were joined by actors and directors from across the country. One Room became a New York Times Critic's Pick. Click here to watch.
Songs for Today invited Weston’s family of musical theatre writers to talk to us in song about the stories they want to tell today. Composers who have previously been with us in Weston created and recorded original songs that capture this unprecedented moment when we are all invited to care and connect in new, unique ways. Watch and listen here.
Postcard Plays is the final installment in Weston’s 2020 Reimagined Season. With this collection, we set out to produce a unique theatrical work connected to the history and landscape of our home state. Ten theatre writers with ties to Vermont were commissioned to create new work in the spirit of a postcard. Inspired by the picture of a place and time, and limited by space, the resulting pieces are surprising, funny, and moving explorations of story and form - Click here to explore.

"I do anything that Weston Playhouse asks me to do because I have a huge crush on the theatre." - Joe Iconis
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
"My writing partner Melissa Li and I went to Weston last year during the summer for a writing residency and had a productive, inspired, and ridi- culously fun time. We worked on our new musicals, and shared our work with the community, in addition to witnessing the fantastic performances of the season. When we were not at the theater, we were jumping into the lake at Buttermilk Falls, filling up on samples and buying snax at the Country Store, and having important conversations about art. Weston is one of my favorite places I have ever worked and I miss it very much." - Kit Yan
"We have very fond memories of the Weston Playhouse, since our last pre-pandemic project was working on our musical HALF THE SKY as the recipients of the Weston-Ghostlight New Musical Award. The cast and team really bonded in Weston, particularly over the delicious home- cooked meals provided by the board!" - Isabella Dawis & Tidtaya Sinutoke
"Weston Playhouse is one of our dearest connections. It’s the theatre that gave us our first professional production, an experience both of us cherish, and we’ve enjoyed every trip back since, whether to partake in a writers retreat or just see the latest show being performed. We feel so lucky to think of Weston as an artistic home, and are overjoyed whenever we have a chance to collaborate with the inspiring and supportive community there." - Gordon Leary & Julia Meinwald

Our programs are founded on the values of connection, creativity, artistic excellence, and life-long learning, and our work is rooted in a deep belief that access to the performing arts enlivens and enriches all corners of our communities. VALUES: EDUCATION
EDUCATION, COMMUNITY, AND OUTREACH
YOUNG PLAYWRIGHTS Despite the challenges brought on by COVID-19, Weston has continued its commitment to creating enriching, accessible educational experiences for all. In February and March, we brought professional teaching artist and playwright John Hadden to five schools in Southern and central Vermont through the Young Playwrights program. John guided dozens of students through the creative process as they wrote original ten-minute plays. We celebrated their work by creating a book of student plays.
John Hadden working with 2019's Young Playwrights students at the Playhouse.
BEYOND THE FOURTH WALL As we launched the Reimagined 2020 Season, we focused our efforts on creating digital outreach opportunities for our audiences. Preceding the premiere of One Room , we hosted Beyond the Fourth Wall, a Zoom conversation with dozens of audience members that featured seven ONE ROOM
artists. Moderated by Executive Artistic Director Susanna Gellert, this discussion focused on the opportunities and challenges posed by creating virtual theatre. This conversation has since been viewed nearly 1000 times on YouTube.

PLAY READING GROUP Later on in the fall, we relaunched our Play Reading Group, which typically gathers in the summer, for a series of intimate discussions about Pulitzer Prize-winning and - nominated plays. For the October conversation, we welcomed guest artist Jen Moeller to speak about her costume design for the original Broadway production of Sweat , by
Lynn Nottage. In December, director Danya Taymor joined us to discuss how she brought Will Arbrey’s play Heroes of the Fourth Turning to life Off -Broadway.
THE HEROES PROJECT In partnership with the Vermont Arts Council, Weston will be co-sponsoring an educational theatre residency in the winter and spring of 2021, led by teaching artists and actress Susan Haefner. Susan will be working with third grade students at Cavendish Elementary School on the “Heroes Project,” during which students will create their own personal superhero and develop their collaboration, communication, literacy, and social-emotional skills. Using theater, music, and dance, Susan will help students discover the heroes within themselves.

OPERATIONS UPDATE
Weston's Tad Webb Memorial Costume Shop received air conditioning in 2020 through a generous private gift. The costume shop has been in great need of A.C. for several years. The shop is used to store, build, alter, and fit every costume seen on the Weston Playhouse stages. In the heat of the summer, with all of the machines roaring, and the shop at full tilt, the A.C. will be a welcome addition for workers and artists alike.
Each summer, Weston's Young Company (YoCo) live in the Playhouse , using the upstairs beds and bathrooms as well as the kitchen on the lobby level. The Weston Community Association (WCA), the owners and stewards of the Playhouse building, have installed A.C. in the lobby, remodeled the YoCo bathrooms, and replaced the floor of the YoCo kitchen. The updates look wonderful and will be enjoyed by Playhouse inhabitants and patrons for years to come. Thank you, WCA!
One of the most historic and well-known sites in Weston will soon be home to the town’s newest gathering space. Over a year ago, members of the community searched for a place to share a meal, a glass, or a story, and WPTC provided the perfect home for this project. The Hub @ Weston will soon welcome guests into the newly-renovated Walker Farmhouse for a bite after the show in their 27-seat café, or to their gathering spaces for meetings, remote working, or to catch up with friends.
Additional 2020 projects include: - A new roof for the artist housing attached to our administrative offices - Upgraded high speed internet in all homes and theatres - Upgraded phone systems
