Dear Archon,
Archon is an ancient Athenian title given to the individual who took it upon themselves to provide theatre to their city. Once a year in the month of April, the citizens of Athens would celebrate the god Dionysus through the civic communion of theatre and the Archons were the citizens who made sure the work of Sophocles and Aristophanes received a proper production. We address you because we hope that you will become an Archon for us, and for this city.
On April 22 Cripple Creek is holding a celebration of bountiful (free) theatre and we would be honored if you would join us. The Symposium of Secrets offers the music of Helen Gillet, Luke Brechtelsbauer, complimentary libations and sustenance, an original work written by Andrew Vaught, and an art auction that features work from some of the finest visual artists in the city.
For ten years, Cripple Creek has employed theatre as a tool for our audiences to explore, discuss, and contribute to the world in which they live. Our successes as a theatre company are due entirely to individuals like you. Our city deserves theatre that is accessible to everyone and theatre that constantly seeks to create work that mirrors reality. As what we consider reality begins to change at an alarming rate, we ask your aid in mirroring it.
In May, we team with the Shakespeare Festival at Tulane for William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. This darkly comic tale will tour throughout the community to our partners at the New Orleans Bridge House, Grace House, the New Orleans Women’s and Children’s Shelter the NORDC Treme Community Center, and DCI Prison. In August, we take over One Eyed Jack’s for Albert Camus’ Caligula. This eerily relevant tale of an Emperor gone mad is offered completely free to the public.
Below is a list of the ways you can be a part of this cultural necessity.

Acolyte $85 – Access to the Symposium of Secrets, entry to Patron Party and 2 reserved seats to CCTC’s summer time spectacle, Caligula by Albert Camus

Please celebrate with us; celebrate the gifts of poetry and spectacle, celebrate the moments when our entire community can sit together in thought, celebrate our ability to provide this for the people around us. We hope to see you in April.
Yours,
CCTC
