Can you believe it’s been 17 years since Inlet Dance Theatre was founded? You’ve seen us grow and evolve in ways we’ve been dreaming of since then – but our work here is far from over.
We are proud to have been able to share part of our journey with you and thank you unconditionally for your support and for being a big part of helping us fulfill our mission of “using dance to further people.”
You are a critical part of making Inlet a family that extends past the stage and studio, and that is why I am asking you to consider deepening your relationship with Inlet by making a gift today. When you make a gift, you help us:
- Develop the talent of children, teens, and young adults who participated in our dance training and mentoring programs and classes. Our impact will deepen as we continue to grow our programming with new neighbors, community partners, and friends.
- Partner with community organizations and agencies so they can experience how dance can further people. Whether it is through our work at local Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland, CMSD’s Newton D. Baker School of Arts, or our collaborative creative process with residents of Judson Manor and Judson Park that tells the story of Cleveland and its’ people via a new multimedia dance theatre work, “Building CLE,”, Inlet has been there.
- Stimulate the community and personal development through thought-provoking performances like the recent world premiere of “The ‘Black Card’ Project,” which challenges the stereotypes of opportunity presented to young, African-American men.
I can’t wait for what the future holds for the company, and I look forward to working alongside you to make it all possible! We’ve shared a little of what’s just around the corner already, but there is so much more to come! I hope you will consider renewing your support by making your gift today. Thank you for helping us create and perform innovative dance and movement theatre, speak creatively about human issues, and bring about personal development.
I look forward to speaking with you and hope to welcome you to an Inlet event soon. Please feel free to contact us anytime at 216.721.8580 as there is nothing better than when we get to chat with friends and supporters like you! To make your donation go even further, check to see if your employer has a matching gift program.
