Save the date for Impact’s first gala!

One night only—Sat, Feb 11:
a gourmet La Val’s dinner (seriously!)
a one-of-a-kind Impact performance
a Valentine's date you’ll never forget

To be honest, we shudder to call it a gala at all; the word conjures a formal, stuffy affair that's nothing like what Impact is. But hey, that's what these things are called, so yeah, it's a gala. But it's a gala that only Impact could pull off.

We'll start by taking over the La Val's kitchen and designing a gourmet menu. (If you've been to one of our opening-night receptions, you know what we're capable of.) Then we head downstairs for a special one-time-only presentation featuring a cavalcade of performers doing ridiculously awesome things for your enjoyment.

More info very soon—for now, save the date so you don't miss this very special event.

Before the end of the year, make a big Impact—for only pennies a day.

Tiny monthly contribution = awesome perks

If you're reading this email, we're guessing Impact is one of your favorite theatre companies. This holiday season, we hope you'll join us as one of the people who make it possible for Impact to provide a stage for the most promising emerging artists.

We really know how to pick 'em, by the way— just this year alone, two playwrights who received some of their earliest productions at Impact have made huge splashes: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (2002's Say You Love Satan) was hired to overhaul the Spider-Man musical on Broadway and has joined the writing team on Glee, and Elizabeth Meriwether (2005's Nicky Goes Goth) has one of the biggest new hits of the current TV season with New Girl, starring Zooey Deschanel.

We've made it easier than ever to make a big Impact: you now have the option of making an automatically recurring payment using your credit card. For only $2.50 per month, you'll be listed in the program and get a 10% discount on everything we do. For just $5 per month, you could be one of our Solid Hit donors, with a 20% discount on everything plus the added perks of access to withheld seats, an Impact T-shirt, and invitations to see rehearsals and talk with the artists. For $10 per month, you'd be a Smash Hit donor, getting a 30% discount plus two passes that you can use as you like! All that and your contribution is tax-deductible, too!

You've probably heard us say it time and again, but we really can't do what we do without your help. Thanks so much for supporting the Bay Area's best small theatre!
