Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, Teesri Duniya Theatre had the honour and privilege to welcome you on March 10, 2020 at the Segal Center for the Performing Arts located on the un-ceded territory of Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehá people.
We organized this evening to personally say Thank you to our supporters for their vital support to the Teesri Duniya Theatre. Ms. Adrienne Piggott, president of the Board of the Teesri Duniya Theatre expressed the company’s gratitude to you and all our public, foundation and corporate supporters.
We are grateful to the Canada Council for the Arts, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Conseil des Arts de Montéal and the Canadian Heritage – their support validates the myriad of work we do. We thank the Emploi Québec for trusting us to develop the artistic workforce.
A big thank you to the TD Bank for its ongoing partnership, and to the Lush Handmade Cosmetics for its season-long engagement. We were honoured to have amongst us Mr. Drew Wawin, District Vice-president and Ms. Fiona Hirst from the TD Bank, and Mr. Barry Cole and Ms. Nancy Wells from the Cole Foundation. Thank you.
Our thank you goes to the Cole Foundation for supporting most of our productions, and to the RBC Foundation for supporting our Emerging Artists Program. We deeply appreciate the Brian Bronfman Foundation for supporting our peace-building work, and we are indebted to the Chadha Family Foundation for its exemplary patronage. Last but not least, we thank the McGill Institute for Health and Social Policy, we acknowledge our partnership with Dr. Shahin Sheriff and IMPACT-McGill for our work on addressing sexual violence, and we thank all individual donors for their valued support.
We thank Opera de Montreal, Portus 360, Lush Handmade Cosmetics and Festival TransAmériques for their generous gift offer items up for bids during the event. And thank you to the Lush Cosmetics - all our patrons received a gift box filled with unique products.
Know that all actions and contributions, now more than ever, plays an important role in the development of our activities and strengthens our engagements with Aboriginal and multicultural artists, youth mentoring programs and the production of plays that demonstrate our cultural diversity, thus helping to change the world, one play at a time.
In this time of crisis, cultural organizations like ours are particularly affected as survival depends on people, companies and foundations like you. As uncertainty lies ahead, we need the commitment of supporters like you to organizations like ours to ensure activities and be the first lines of response for community members in the aftermath.
To our present and future supporters, on behalf of our team and the Board of Directors, Thank you.
