Whether they grew up on the stage as one of the many generations of youthful players, or one of the many adult performers that have graced the stage, you may be as moved as we were by their heartfelt words.
"When I think back on my childhood, I think immediately of The Playhouse! It is where I made lifelong friends, cultivated confidence, and fell in love with theater in a way that has shaped my entire life. It was my second home growing up and I love it with all my heart. It is so important that we support The Playhouse so that future generations of Marin children are able to experience the joy of finding themselves through theater, creativity, and the most special community."
