With deepest concern for the Alaska community, we are postponing all live performances of FUN HOME given the recommendations of the CDC and Alaska Department of Health & Social Services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are exploring options to bring this show to you remotely, and are hoping to have FUN HOME on our stage this fall. We will keep you abreast of updates as we have them.
We are so proud of our talented FUN HOME creative team, cast, and crew, and we remain committed to centering the important stories of these communities in the future. We are also proud of our successful 41st season.
This pandemic is not only a critical threat to our health, but to the livelihoods of everyone supported by Perseverance’s operations. About 50% of our revenue comes from ticket sales, which means suspending this show – which we believe is the only course of action – eliminates the income for our final, largest, and most expensive show, after we have already spent the cost of creating it. This situation seriously threatens the livelihoods of our talented staff, artists, and crew, and our existence as an organization.
How You Can Help
Donate: By donating at this critical time to Perseverance Theatre, you will support the salaries of the theatre staff and Fun Home artists, as well as ensure that Perseverance has a future.
Without the revenue from the Fun Home ticket sales, we are depending on the support of our loyal friends and patrons to ensure the survival of Perseverance Theatre through this crisis. We need your support more than ever, and indeed, it is crucial to our organization.
We acknowledge the serious impact the virus has on communities across the state, and Perseverance will do all it can to support Alaska’s recovery and well-being. We look forward to the moment that we can once again raise the curtain at Perseverance Theatre to celebrate our resilience and the power of theatre.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please email us at info@ptalaska.org, or visit our website at www.ptalaska.org. Please note that our administrative and box office staff will be working remotely during this time, and in advance, we thank you for your patience.
