It has been 6 weeks since the final performance of 'The Winter’s Tale'. I have reflected much on the process and the journey. I want to send my heartfelt thanks out to our wonderful cast, our incredible creative team and our fabulous crew and volunteers who all made this fantastic production come to life. I am incredibly grateful to all the people who donated their time, energy and expertise to make this show happen. Thank you so much! Your talent, passion, generosity and enthusiasm for this project has been an overwhelmingly positive aspect of the process.
To our major sponsors, Kent Laverack, Rydges Armidale and Roberts + Morrow, we couldn’t have done this project without your generous support. Thank you for supporting Empty Space Productions and for believing in this project. I am so grateful!
To all the people who donated through the Australian cultural fund and for the all the organisations and businesses who supported us with in kind support; The University of New England, Armidale Drama and Music Society, Gold Coast Little Theatre, High Country Productions, High Country Theatre, Pink Mythos, Along Came Red, Simon Scott Photo Nathan Mark Photography, Killen Furniture and the UNE Printroom, thank you for your incredible generosity and community spirit. A production of this scale could not have happened without such kindness.
And finally, thank you to the Armidale community for supporting 'The Winter’s Tale' and Empty Space Productions first full-length play. It was wonderful to share this journey with you. The positive feedback we have received has made all the hard work worthwhile.
It has been a wonderfully rich experience to be a part of. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to work with all these amazing people and to have shared William Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale' with the Armidale community.
Empty Space Productions has some exciting things in store for 2024. I am looking forward to telling you about them soon.
All the best and thanks again.
