Happy New Year!

2010.

A New Year.

A new day dawning.

Ring out the old, ring in the new!

Turning of the page.

A fresh start.

The first day of the rest of your life!

We annually embrace these seasonal metaphors, chocked full of optimism and resolution, because we are, for the most part, believers – believers in the power of hope and creativity to nurture the human spirit, inspire change, and extoll beauty over ugliness and oppression. The celebration of this new year is an invitation to reinvent, to rethink, to adapt and to support those performing arts institutions that nurture us and sustain the best of humanity.

Best wishes to all our readers for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
