The Fund For Monomoy

The Ohio University Players in Residence since 1958

The Fund For Monomoy

Ohio University, The Ohio University Foundation and the College of Fine Arts congratulate the Monomoy Theatre and the Ohio University Players on the opening of their landmark 51st season.  This marvelous partnership has continued to serve as a unique training ground for young theatre artists since its official establishment in 1958 by John and Elizabeth Baker, a legacy continued later by Eleanor Steindler, their daughter and a dedicated advocate of the theatre.  Ohio University students have benefited enormously from their experience at Monomoy and so many have had their professional careers shaped by the opportunities provided by Monomoy Theatre and the Chatham community.

 

We are proud of Monomoy Theatre’s distinguished record of achievement, and grateful to the Baker family for their foresight, passion and dedication to Ohio University, Chatham, and the arts.

 

We also salute the Massachusetts Alumni Chapter serving New England, the residents of Chatham and Cape Cod, and the Friends of Monomoy Theatre.  Through the years your spirit, generosity and love of the arts have continued to nurture and strengthen the excellence of this extraordinary creative resource.

 

Because of the long-term importance of the theatre and its work, Ohio has partnered with the Friends of Monomoy Theatre on a fundraising campaign to secure the resources necessary for the theatre’s future.  We are truly excited about the future and look forward to your continued patronage of Monomoy Theatre and the Ohio University Players.

Friends and Alumni have started an endowment for the long term support of the excellence of the Monomoy Theatre experience.  Our goal is to raise $1,500,000 over the next four years, culminating with the 100 Anniversary of the Ohio University College of Fine Arts.  The earning from the Fund for Monomoy will be used exclusively to support the Ohio University Players at the Monomoy Theatre.  We hope you will include the Ohio University Players in your philanthropic support plans.  For information please contact The Ohio University Foundation, Attention: Julie “Z” Zdanowicz,  Director of Development,   College of Fine Arts,  P.O.
