Friends,

Thank you for being a part of Sample Night Live. Over the course of five seasons, and more than 50 shows, you’ve helped breathe life into this groundbreaking project, featuring nearly 1,700 individual artists on the stage and introducing them to thousands of new fans. We couldn’t be more proud of what we are accomplishing together.

Sample Night Live is bursting at the seams! The audience grew more than 30 percent last season, and quality arts organizations request booking every day. After five successful seasons, it is time to take a pause and build a new strategic plan for a new economy that will take the company to the next level.

Save the date for fall 2013, when Sample Night Live will be back with all-new shows of the most amazing local art you never knew you’d love.

Thank you for your continuing support.
