We all have a story, a cause, a nonprofit that speaks to our hearts. During this season of giving and gratitude, we asked each member of our team to share one of theirs with you.

Susan Rostkoski: The magic and power of theater is, for me, contained in that moment when the lights have just gone down, the curtain has not yet risen, and everyone is waiting together for the story to begin. Park Square Theatre, where I am a board member, provides such experiences across the spectrum of age, race, or ethnicity, geography, income level—all those things that too easily divide us. Theater provides a window to what is possible, acknowledges multiple realities existing side by side, and welcomes a multitude of thought and opinion to inform and educate. At its best, it helps us to see each other and live together in community—that’s Park Square Theatre to me!
