When we set out on this journey 10 years ago, we had a goal to create a special theater opportunity for kids. A place they could call home and feel comfortable expressing themselves. A place where they could feel safe. A place where everyone was offered a role, regardless of ability. At the time we opened this company we saw a need for such a place. I truly believe we have accomplished our goal.
Now, 10 years and 21 shows later we have seen how this company has improved the lives of the kids in our community. We are also so happy that there are so many opportunities for kids to express themselves.
Therefore, after a very long reflection, myself and the Board of Directors of IRYT have decided that it is time to step away and close IRYT.
As I said, we feel that we have accomplished what we set out to do. We want to thank every performer, parent, and family member who trusted us. We also want to thank all of the Artistic Directors, Music Directors, Choreographers, Tech, Crew and other volunteers who have made up our various production teams over the years. We appreciate the love and support you all have given us over the last 10 years. We love you all, and can’t wait to continue to support all our wonderful performers in all their future endeavors.
So thankful for you all,
Brian Sharp
