Annual Report Highlight

When the shutdown went into effect last March and we were forced to close Measure for Measure, we hoped to be back in time to open William Saroyan’s The Time of Your Life in June. It soon became apparent that returning by summer wouldn’t be possible, and now, as we’re reaching the end of 2020, the theater has been closed for most of the year.

Our team has been working from home throughout the shutdown, and even in this time of social distancing, Antaeus has been keeping busy, launching new initiatives and community activities. Although 2020 certainly wasn’t the year we’d planned, we’re truly grateful for everything the support of this community made possible. As we close out the year, we invite you to join us in looking back on what we’ve accomplished together. Enjoy the highlights below, or take a deeper look by reading our 2020 Annual Report.
