WHO ARE THEY?

The Sages are the direct link to the Wildwood. They are individuals who can hear the whispers of the wind and interpret the will of the wood. In times of harmony, The Sages remain mostly unseen. To witness a Sage in the open is a sure sign the Wildwood is stirring.

The Sages come from all walks of life. The Sages have all been touched by mental illness and work tirelessly to unravel the stigma behind it.

Why your sponsorship matters…

The Wildwood Theatre has its sights set incredibly high. In several years, we have seen many theater companies close permanently.

This has not discouraged us; it has only encouraged us.
We challenge ourselves to think differently, listen to other theater operators and their artists, and make bold, fast changes to how we do things in the theatre. The status quo will not serve this community any longer.
Our board of directors is agile and responsive to things that need to change. We have built a process allowing rapid evolution rather than waiting on outdated methods.

Where others see a challenge or a barrier, we see an opportunity to be excited about.

That’s where you come in… your sponsorship sustains and grows what we have set out to become.
