Dance We Must: The Future of the Ted Shawn Theatre

“Dance We Must” has been Jacob’s Pillow’s motto through all the many challenges of 2020: the global pandemic, a national reckoning with racism, the cancellation of our summer Festival (the first in our then-88 year history), and the tragic loss of our Doris Duke Theatre to a catastrophic fire as the year came to a close. Everything we do—and the plans that we make—are in service to dance and dance artists. And it’s because of the support of thousands of donors that we can announce our plan for the future of the Pillow—for these artists and for our audiences, students, and community. We have launched Dance We Must, the final phase of the Pillow’s Vision ’22 campaign to fortify our future and to serve the imaginations of artists and audiences, and their needs, today and tomorrow. We’ve raised $20 million in support of these efforts over the past 5 years. We have $2 million left to raise. Please consider donating today—any amount makes a difference—to support the Pillow’s future. Donate at www.jacobspillow.org/shawn or text SHAWN to 91999.
