North Shore News Interviews Kim Selody
January 13th, 2012Artistic Director Kim Selody sat down with the North Shore News to discuss the changes to our 2011/2012 season.
PHT announces changes to 2011/2012 Professional Theatre Season
December 22nd, 2011Effective immediately, Presentation House Theatre has announced changes to its 2011/12 professional theatre season. These changes have been made to ensure the ongoing financial stability of Presentation House Theatre and to allow the Theatre to continue to meet its financial obligations to artists, staff, suppliers and contractors.
The following changes will take effect immediately:
- Presentation House Theatre’s January production of In the Wake, a Downstage Creation Ensemble production has been cancelled. This cancellation is due to very slow ticket sales. The performance has not been rescheduled.
- Presentation House Theatre’s March production of My Mother’s Story: North Vancouver has been moved to September/October 2012, and will open the 2012/13 theatre season.
All other 2011/12 season programming will continue as scheduled.
“Presentation House Theatre is taking these actions to ensure we can continue to present professional theatre, and provide a first class North Shore arts experience to the many community organizations and individuals,” said Kim Selody, Artistic Director of Presentation House Theatre. “My Mother’s Story: North Vancouver is a project close to our hearts, and the community of North Vancouver. With an amazing design and creative team, this move to our 2012/13 season will ensure that its high quality production values can be realized with fiscal responsibility.”
Jack Hughes, Chair of the Presentation House Theatre Board of Directors said, “The Theatre recently presented our 2010/11 audit and completed the fiscal year with an $8,000 operating surplus. This is good news. However, in 2011/12 our season projections were extremely ambitious, and although sales are better than last year, our box office revenues have been lower than projected. By tightening our belts now we can ensure another successful year at Presentation House Theatre and remain viable for the future.”
Presentation House Theatre has received tremendous support from many individuals and funders, local government and the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce and we look forward to our on-going partnerships.
What began in response to a community call for a place to belong, and as a focal point for arts and culture on the North Shore, Presentation House Theatre has grown into the home of professional theatre and community arts in North Vancouver.
Presentation House Theatre will announce their 2012/13 season in February 2012, presenting a season of “All kinds of shows, for all kinds of people.”
Happy Holidays from PHT!
December 21st, 2011Presentation House Theatre will be closed for the Holidays from December 23rd until January 3rd.
Our thanks to everyone who supported us through the first half of our professional season. We wish all of our supporters a very happy holiday season and look forward to seeing you all in the New Year!
