It's hard to believe that the Arden is celebrating its 20th Anniversary season! While selecting the plays for this milestone, we had the opportunity to think about the things that are most engaging us at this point in our history. Great stories are our mission, as they were in the beginning and continue to be. But the type of stories we have been drawn to again and again have more fully emerged. We love stories that celebrate language. We are drawn to stories that are based on historical characters and events. We are inspired by stories that celebrate family and community.

This season we offer you an invitation to share your story. We will feature unique stories from our patrons, staff, board and friends on our website and in our show programs. We'd love for you to contribute. It doesn't have to be anything earth shattering or connected at all to the Arden! It's simply a way to celebrate meaningful moments that have shaped lives. Your life.

We celebrate the stories of our community. You are our lifeblood; our fabric; our family; our story.
