Welcome to Tapestry Theatre Professional theater by women who dare |
Kelly A. Jennngs / Karen Getz Co-founders of Tapestry Theatre |
Tapestry Theatre was founded in 1999 and was the first theater company in the Philadelphia, PA region to provide professional women theatre artists an environment in which to develop their own creative voices, to take risks, and to produce high quality, entertaining theater. Our work explored a variety of genres from Shakespeare to variety show, contemporary drama, Broadway style musicals, to the ways in which improvisation could be used to create fully realized theatrical pieces. Tapestry received numerous accolades from audiences as well as the press and we were proud to receive Barrymore attention for our co-production of Grease and Desist (Best Original Music, and Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for Sarah Doherty's portrayal of Rosie.) with Brat Productions. Unfortunately, a severe lack of finacilal support has forced us to close the company. We are running in the red and have a several financial obligations that need to be settled before we officially close our doors forever. It is likely we will hold a closing fundraiser and/or some select performances to aide us in raising the necessary cash we need before we say goodbye. To our supporters and the amazingly talented artists both onstage and off with whom we have worked over the years THANK YOU! With much gratitude, Kelly and Karen. |
