An Update from Studio Connections

We’ve always believed that theatre is at its best when it responds to the moment it’s living in.

This season has asked us to do just that.

Earlier this year, our planned production of The White Chip was paused due to unexpected construction at the Cabaret Theatre. While disappointing, the pause created space for something more aligned with the heart of the work.

We are grateful to share that The White Chip will now be presented in May, during National Mental Health Month, with the support of St. Francis in the Foothills, as part of a broader effort to raise awareness and encourage thoughtful conversation around mental health, addiction, and recovery.

This feels like the right home for the play.

The White Chip is not a story about failure. It is a story about showing up — again and again — even when the path forward is uncertain. In that sense, the journey of this production mirrors the values that have guided Studio Connections from the beginning.

At the same time, we continue to grow our educational mission. This summer, we are planning a youth arts camp that centers creativity, mentorship, and belonging — especially for young people who may not otherwise have access to sustained arts programming. For many students, the arts offer a rare space to be seen, heard, and valued.

Taken together, these projects reflect what Studio Connections strives to do:
create theatre that serves the whole community.

We are deeply thankful to our artists, collaborators, partners, and supporters who continue to walk with us — especially during moments of transition. Your belief in this work makes it possible to keep moving forward with intention and care.

This is not a season of delay.
It is a season of alignment.
