This is Tamale. She is holding a $500 donation check to the Center on Halsted from Strangeloop. Donations were collected from our Mitera donation drive, combined with funds from Strangeloop and donated during Pride Month.
Tamale Sepp is the Center's Director of Community and Cultural Programs which co-ordinates programming for Bisexual, Children's Space and Family, Trangender and Women's Programs, as well as Recreation and Wellness, GED Programming and an LGBTQ Artists Gallery. The Center also has Anti-violence programming, HIV/AIDS and STD services, Senior services and Youth programming. In fact, over the next five years, the Center hopes to address LGBTQ youth homelessness by providing scattered-site housing throughout Chicago.
Thank you to Pat Tinsley for setting up the drive and to all who donated to support the important work of this organization. If you were not able to earlier, consider making a donation today: https://community.centeronhalsted.org/DonateNow

Tonight we say goodbye to the Sheridan sisters. This has been a wonderful production of a beautiful story and we thank everyone who has joined us.
A handful of tickets remain for tonight's show. It's your last chance to see Mitera and to delve into its world of modern love wrapped in old world tradition.

Though a little (or much, depending on your view of time) belated, we want to thank the amazing Peter Robards for his support of Strangeloop's 8th Season!
We couldn't do what we do without our fantastic donors. For his generous gift, Peter received a 5-Minute Play about himself written by company member Keith Gatchel.
P.S. - There's a clown in it.
