Thank You

During these troubling times, we recognize that art is more vital than ever in helping us share our collective stories. And yet, it is also a time when creating and sharing that art has become more difficult. First Folio Theatre is grateful to all of the donors and supporters whose generosity is helping us to weather these winds.
