As the sun begins to shine in Trinity Bight, our new season is beaming just as brightly. Rising Tide Theatre’s founding Artistic Director Donna Butt, after 46 years of dedicated service and visionary leadership, is taking on a new role. A pioneering artist, Donna has led the company since 1978, from the early collective shows to the annual Revue, from the cultural innovation of the Trinity experiment through three decades of significant growth, relocating herself and the company in 1993. This year, Donna transitions to Founder/Senior Producer to oversee expansion of the Rising Tide Arts Centre, lead major digital and archival projects, continuing to direct and act. Her dedication, strategic insight, and unwavering commitment have been intrinsic to the company's success. She continues to serve on regional committees and boards, developing policy, assisting with strategic planning, and expanding markets for cultural tourism. After serving two years as the Associate Artistic Director, Rising Tide Theatre’s Board of Directors is appointing Mallory Clarke as the Interim Artistic Director this season. Mallory began working as a performer with Rising Tide Theatre in 2014, developing a love of the company and the communities it serves. Now a resident of English Harbour, Mallory is enthusiastic about their new role: “Rising Tide Theatre has been a creative home for me over the past ten years and I am honoured to be stepping into the role of Interim Artistic Director of this ground-breaking company. Donna has been—and continues to be—a great inspiration to me, and I am grateful for her mentorship and support as we usher Rising Tide into a new era. I look forward to continuing the tradition of nurturing homegrown voices while adventuring into new creative territory. Rising Tide’s legacy has been built on community and the people who participate in the common dream of belonging. It is a privilege to be tasked with upholding that legacy and trusted to champion its expansion.” Donna adds: “We are all committed to making this transition one of the most successful ever. We have the team, we have the passion, and we have one of the most magnificent settings in the world to perform in.” You’ll see both artists on stage this summer as well as directing shows in our exciting six- show season. Please join in giving them warm wishes as they forge new paths with us. |
