Thanks! Every year we invite our patrons to lend additional support to our efforts. This page lists those who have responded this year, before the publication date of our Season Playbill. They are supporters of South Dakota's oldest professional theatre and training center, a cultural drawing card for the entire Black Hills region. We'd like to print your name next year!
