Dear Friends,

It's (nearly) spring, the jonquils are bravely blooming, despite too many days of unseasonable cold, and The Liberty Free Theatre is on the move. 

Our collaboration with the Liberty Museum and Arts Center to create a new state-of-the-art 70-seat theatre is moving forward. This collaboration of two prominent arts and community resources promises to spur additional vital energy to Sullivan County's ambition to become an arts destination for the region. (To say nothing of an upgrade to more breathing space and more comfortable seating for our loyal audiences.) 

A plethora of details still need to be worked out -- plan approvals, code requirements, building and furbishing, etc. -- all of which take time. We hope to have the new theatre up and running by next season.

Meantime, we have (with some sadness) moved out of our space at 109 South Main Street and are working on plans to tour the county for this coming season while we await our new permanent home. Some of the plays we are considering for this traveling season are Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, Mafia on Prozac by Edward Allan Baker, two plays by Tennessee Williams, Lifeboat by Shel Silverstein and our annual assortment of poetry, music and fiction.

Please make  note of our new address and phone number in the  masthead above. We can also be reached by email at libertyfreetheatre@mac.com or libertyfree1@verizon.net

These past eight years at 109 South Main have been a rewarding and fulfilling first step toward creating a unique theatre that enhances the life of the community while it entertains the people of the community. It goes without saying, we could not have taken this first joyful ride without your support. We hope you will join us as we step forward into an even greater opportunity to continue our work.

Looking forward to seeing you on the road this year and in our new home next year, 

                    Paul Austin
