We are thankful for many things.
But we know that in times like these, just the ability to be
able to work as artists, to freely express our thoughts and feelings, to openly share our
culture and heritage …. those things aren’t always possible, not everywhere.
able to work as artists, to freely express our thoughts and feelings, to openly share our
culture and heritage …. those things aren’t always possible, not everywhere.
We are fortunate to do what we do. To follow our dreams and work in the arts. Together.
And for that, we are thankful for your support. Whether you
are in the audience or onstage, whether you write a check or lend a prop, the
truth is that we wouldn’t be here without you. And for that, we as the staff
and board, are immensely grateful …

“I am thankful for tea. A hot, steaming cup of tea,” says
Adrienne. “Tea coaxes me out of bed in the morning, it greets me after a long
cold bike ride to work, and relaxes me at night. Something bad happen during
the day? In my mother’s words, there’s nothing a good cup of tea can’t fix (or
at least make brighter). I meet with friends over tea, I can’t read a book
without a cup of it. Yes, I am thankful for tea and all the comfort it
represents. “

“I am thankful for the opportunity to work with such a
lovely array of talented, passionate, and ambitious people,” says Emily. “I
have always had a passion for both art and Spanish (language and cultures), and
I couldn’t be more grateful to work with an organization that incorporates both
of these into exciting, meaningful and heartfelt experiences.”

“I am thankful for Michael Sierra, who for several years has helped fund Teatro Milagro’s travels around the country,” says Dañel. “Joining him this season as a sponsor of FRIDA, un retablo is Lina García Seabold, whose interest in visual art has inspired ‘The Blue House’ project.”
“I am thankful for my family and friends, and especially my partner, who makes it possible for me to wander wherever I may wonder,” says Tim.
“I am also grateful for my Milagro home!” says Ana. “A place
where I can be myself, learn, grow and give something back once in a while. I am
grateful for the vision of José, Dañel and Olga. I am grateful for the support
and generosity of the Milagro and their gifts to Latino artists, writers,
actors, and performers in this community.”
