Each "In addition to mounting our most popular and longest running summer season to date, we continued to expand our new play development program, extended our On- tario touring circuit, increased our memberships and fundraising base, and successfully executed more fundraising events in a single season than ever before. More important, we witnessed a tremen- dous outpouring of support for this organiza- tion from individuals right across the coun- try, enabling us to break ground on our capital expansion pro]ect."
