With the new year upon us, we resolved to continue showcasing the transformational stories of our remarkable volunteers! Here’s why sound designer Becky Brown is incredibly grateful to be welcomed into the Live Arts extended family. 

“When I started doing sound design at Live Arts in 2021, I didn't realize I'd have so much fun! Working with four different production teams meant meeting a diverse bunch of talented designers. Getting to know them through production meetings and tech weekends was always a highlight, as the other volunteers involved with these shows are diverse in every direction.”

Becky took on sound design for our first live show after the pandemic, EVERY BRILLIANT THING. In quick succession, she followed with PIPELINE, ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST, and LOVE AND INFORMATION in 2022. Each experience helped her grow as an artist and feel more connected. 

“Creating the sound design for these shows has allowed me to think differently than I normally would when making sound-based art. The folks at Live Arts feel a bit like extended family, honestly, and I am incredibly grateful.”

Becky is one of hundreds of volunteer artists who has discovered an extended family at Live Arts. We thank all of you for your gifts of time, talent, and donations in 2022. Your investment ensures that Live Arts continues to be an artistic home for generations to come.

It takes $1 million a year to fully fund this special place. Less than half is covered by ticket sales and tuition. The rest comes from grants and individual theater lovers like you, who have already contributed $220,000 toward our mission of forging theater and community. We invite you to help us close our remaining $280,000 income gap by making a gift in 2023. Happy New Year!
