Let's play a game! Here are three answers to the question "What's something from the last 15 years of Penfold that will always stick with you?" Which of these three performers for our upcoming gala do you think said them? (Answer and bios tomorrow.)
1) I always treasure the consistency and beauty of the posture Nathan and Ryan take in creating art and stewarding so well the people, resources, and gifts that they have been given. This was very loud to me in the pandemic as they had to shift and change course in so many ways unexpectedly, yet the heart behind the work they do never wavered. I have had the pleasure of working with them on and off for the last 12 years and it has always been soul-filling, in every season.
2) My first show with Penfold, I Love You Because, is my favorite Penfold memory of the last 15 years. A perfect blend of a great and funny script, amazing performers, supported by the incredible team at Penfold!
3) Some of my favorite Penfold memories are actually from auditions and callbacks. Penfold attracts some of the best and most delightful artists. So it can be such fun to audition alongside a bunch of different people and see so many potential versions of a show with people I really admire. There is so much possibility in a room like that.

Don't forget to get your tickets for our annual fundraiser gala! The last day to reserve is Sunday!

It's closing day of Vincent: a one-person show starring two long-time friends. So we think you'll enjoy this shot from Penfold's production of Art many, many years ago. Did you know Ryan and Nathan way back when?

See them today in the final day of performances!
Nathan Jerkins at 4pm and Ryan Crowder at 7:30

A picture of a much younger Nathan Jerkins and Ryan Crowder onstage in a production of "Art." The title reads "Nathan and Ryan at the
Vincent pitch meeting circa 2009." Nathan is crouched behind Ryan holding a piece of paper and reading from it. Ryan is looking off into the middle distance and has a goatee and little mustache. Nathan's speech bubble says "And then in fourteen years, we'll both do the same one-person show!" and Ryan's thought bubble says "Am I pulling off this goatee?"
