“We are immensely grateful to The Culinary Institute of America, and the visionary Dr. Tim Ryan, who with his incomparable staff, gave us a spectacular platform from which to share our work these past few years. It is with profound gratitude that we recognize and thank our staff, board members, community champions, sponsors, and most of all, our audiences, who made Half Moon Theatre soar.
THANK YOU and we hope you all continue to support live theatre — wherever you may live!!”
