THANK YOU!Thank you to all who attended the 4th Hurricane Gap Community Performance Institute at Pine Mountain Settlement School! It was so great to see all of you in such a beautiful place, doing what we love: making new friends, renewing old ones, and building community through theatre. We had a wonderful time learning from each other and watching the performances of our fellow artists. Special shoutout to Clear Creek Creative and Carpetbag Theatre for the opportunity to join together in this endeavor and make it something wonderful. We hope to see you all back at the next Hurricane Gap!
