We at Promethean Theatre Ensemble believe that to be silent is to be complicit. We raise our voices in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. To the people of color we work with, work for, and love – and to those we may never even meet – we express our heartfelt support. #BlackLivesMatter

Thanks, thanks, and ever thanks

As our world has turned upside down, we would like to thank the artists, patrons, and organizations who have so generously supported Promethean. While we wait and make plans for when we can safely be together at the theatre once again, we are forever grateful to those who have kept the ghostlight on until that day arrives.

Sincere thanks are also extended to our sponsors and the individual supporters who donated between January 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020. Click here for more information.

Are you able to donate to help PTE offset the financial burden placed on us by the sudden closing of our hit show, Mrs. Warren’s Profession, and the uncertain conclusion of Season 14? We’d love it if you would. Any amount, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated.

Until we can join together again for some entertaining theatre that fuses simplicity of design with intelligent, passionate storytelling, keep your imagination burning bright.
