An Important Letter from Bleu.

​

After fifteen years of telling stories with this community, Selah Theatre Project will close its doors following our production of Clue.

​

This was not an easy decision, and it did not come from a lack of belief in this work or in you. This season brought repeated construction and utility delays at our venue, the cancellation of Come From Away, shifting Clue to Front Royal, and potential cancellation of Purlie Victorious, plus financial losses from rights, rentals, lost ticket revenue, and refunds that we could not recover from. We have withdrawn from our lease at the old First United Methodist Church, and we are grateful to our partners at Stone Branch Center for the Arts in Front Royal, who have welcomed us with open arms.

​

Clue will go on as planned but at Stone Branch Center for the Arts in Front Royal, and we would love to see you there. It will be one of the last gifts Selah Theatre Project gives this community.

​

Some things will carry on. Our classes continue at Stone Branch Center for the Arts, and I will still be teaching. The Larry Lamar Yates Memorial Scholarship Fund will continue beyond Selah Theatre Project, so any young person who needs support to study the arts can still find it. 

​

If you hold a ticket, sponsorship, or donation tied to a production that will not move forward, we are working to make it right, and you should have received an email from us on October 1. Please check your spam folder. 

​

To every actor, volunteer, partner, donor, parent, and patron who made these fifteen years possible: thank you. You gave your time, your talent, and your trust to stories that mattered, and that does not disappear.

​

With gratitude,
Bleu Do'zia
Founding Artistic Director, Selah Theatre Project
