to our Shakespeare Heroines piece that made its debut 10 years ago. "Creating Shakespeare” is a reimagined work of Ruth Page that journeys into the inner life and nature of three of Shakespeare’s influential heroines. Each of the heroines, Juliet, Katherine, and Lady Macbeth, dictated their stories and were known for either their romance, strength, or madness as they transcended beyond Shakespeare’s own work. To check out more material from this piece visit our website.

Giving Tuesday is next week, December 2nd!

As part of our Giving Tuesday campaign this year, we have set a goal of $10,000 with a corporate match from SCM Globe, this year’s Platinum Sponsor. Additionally, SCM Globe will match donations from other corporations, so make sure that if you work for an employer who matches your philanthropic donations that you request that they match your donation to Concert Dance, Inc. Giving Tuesday may only come once a year, but there is no limit to how often you can donate. This year, give someone you love a gift of supporting dance, culture, and developing new artists. Donate in their name or set up your monthly recurring donations today.

As always, thank you! We are endlessly grateful for our remarkable community whose belief in us makes everything we do possible. Your generosity fuels our mission to awaken Artivism through dance — using the power of movement to inspire change, ignite creativity, and bring people together.
This 2025–2026 season marks Venetia Stifler & Concert Dance, Inc.’s 44th year of celebrating art, nurturing young dancers, empowering artists, and creating performances that challenge, uplift, and transform. With your continued support, we can keep this vision alive and step boldly toward our Sapphire Anniversary in 2026–2027 — a milestone made possible because of you. Thank you for believing in the transformative power of dance and for being part of our artistic family.

Donations can be made to [email protected] via Zelle or PayPal.
