BareBones has so many people to hold in gratitude this year: our generous 2023 Annual Extravaganza sponsors and partners, the staff and volunteers who built an incredible show, and…you — our community and supporters who give audience to our work. “Thank you” isn’t big enough to capture it. For any organization, making it to 30 years is no small feat, but for a small, community arts nonprofit, perhaps even more so. If you have not yet had an opportunity to contribute and would like to, here's where you can learn how to give.
Partners and Sponsors
special thanks
St Paul's - San Pablo Lutheran Church — Thank you so much for the use of their beautiful church for our community builds. Small theater’s like ours couldn’t survive without the gracious support of community partners. We at BareBones consider our annual tradition, the Extravaganza, to be a meaningful experience. To have been able to house our work in a place that is also dedicated to service and lifting people’s spirits was really special.
Venture Bikes — Venture bikes has a coffee shop and does bike repairs, cycling education, and sponsors community events and rides. For the 2023 Extravaganza, they also specialized in "saving our butts" on a regular basis with the use of their space for puppet storage, providing snacks for our audience, and other support as needed. We could not have gotten through this season without them.
