VIRTUAL PLAYBILL

A MESSAGE FROM PRODUCER:  JOSEY MILLER

​

When people look back in history, I’m sure no one would dare say that the year 2020 was a boring one.  The worst part is, we’re only half way through it! I don’t know about you, but I had a lot of things I was looking forward to doing this year.  One of them was being a cast member in the monumental 75th Anniversary season at the Black Hills Playhouse.  Unfortunately, the universe had other plans.  For the safety and health of all who enter the hallowed halls of the BHP, the difficult but responsible decision was made to not have our season as scheduled and postpone it until 2021. 

​

The Playhouse has been a haven for so many people for so many years. It is a place where artists come from all over the country to collaborate, create and communicate.  Our job as artists is to transport our audience to a different time, a different place or even a different world and tell a story.  It feels like now is a time where we need that more than ever.  So, while cooped up in my New York City apartment feeling helpless and a little lost, I started thinking. I thought of how creating and performing is a cathartic outlet for theater makers and audiences alike.  I thought of the patrons I have grown to know over my years at the BHP; everyone from the first-timers to the season pass holders who have reserved their same seats for decades.  I thought of the financial hardships that all live theater is facing right now and I came up with an idea.  I reached out to Dan Workman and Linda Anderson with this idea and we decided that through the magic of modern technology, we could all still put on a show from afar.  What you are about to view is the result of the collaboration of people who love the Playhouse and love bringing joy to its patrons.  This would NOT have been possible without the generosity and gifts of these 26 individuals and I cannot thank them enough for all they have contributed.

​

I hope these performances bring you so much joy. I hope they bring you an escape.  And I hope you’ll consider donating to support our beloved Playhouse so we can be back and better than ever in 2021.  Until then, know we are thinking of you and missing our little slice of paradise in the woods.

Please, enjoy the show.
