MONOMOY THEATRE
O
hio University, The Ohio University Foundation, and the College of Fine Arts
congratulate the Monomoy Theatre and the Ohio University Players on the
opening of their 56th season!
The Ohio University Players are the actors; costume, lighting and set designers;
box office attendants; and even the cleanup and maintenance crew. Students produce
eight plays in 10 weeks, and at certain times during the summer the students work
on aspects of three different productions at once.
The work produced at Monomoy is great training for those who aspire to
become theater professionals. Ohio University students have benefited enormously
from their experiences and the opportunity to interact with working professionals in
a full summer theatre season.
Ohio University was founded on a promise. Established in 1804 as the first
institution of higher learning in Ohio and the Northwest Territory, our founders
recognized the importance of education. More than 200 years later, that vision
remains strong. This is why we have launched The Promise Lives: The Campaign for
Ohio University. And this is why we now look to you alumni, friends and supporters
to stand with us in our pursuit of excellence.
We all know that organizations cannot function without the necessary funds to
support what they do. This is true of Ohio University, and specifically the College of
Fine Arts. The generous gifts from alumni, friends, community members,
foundations, and businesses enhance our creative pursuits.
Today, I hope you will consider a gift to The Ohio University Foundation in
support of the Monomoy Theater and the many ways that it enhances the education
of Ohio University students.
We are very proud of Monomoy Theatre's record of achievement and are
grateful to the Baker family members for their foresight, passion, and dedication to
Ohio University, Chatham, and the arts. We salute the Massachusetts Alumni Chapter
serving New England, the residents of Chatham and Cape Cod, and the Friends of the
Monomoy Theatre. Throughout the years, their spirit, generosity, and love of the arts
have continued to nurture and strengthen the excellence of this unique learning
environment.
Cordially,
Roderick J. McDavis, President
