Hello Friends,
A Very Deadly Constructivists Holiday was absolutely a labor of love. Love for this company. Love for the artists who work here. And love for the ability to laugh at the dark.
This year was a big challenge for me personally, and therefore, by necessity, things needed to shift around here at The Constructivists simply to roll with the punches. If you missed it, or are new to this company, you can read so here. Suffice it to say, the challenges are not over, but this company means a lot to a lot of people and that's why we keep moving forward, one foot at a time, to be here for those who need it most.
And so we created what I like to think is magic for the first offering of Season Six. Something built right here at home with our people for our people. A Very Deadly Constructivists Holiday was meant to be an alternative to traditional Holiday programming and I think we accomplished just that. Some were giddily offended, some reveled in the darkness, but all who came laughed. And that is so important right now. For myself and for so many others.
And I hope you laughed hard. And I hope to see you again soon. And I hope you are able to find some kindness and peace this Holiday Season. Thank you again for coming to the show.
Be well,
Jaimelyn Gray
Artistic Director
The Constructivists
