COMING UP ON NEXT ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

NEW REFORMS COULD CALIFORNIA WILL MAKE IT TO NAMI HUMBOLDT.

WE SIT DOWN WITH THE FEMLEY.

COMING UP ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

>> FROM THE HEADLINE HUMBOLDT T I'M JAMES FAULK.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

ABOUT THE ONGOING CONFLAGRATION IN ISRAEL AND GAZA.

AND PARTLY BECAUSE THE GOOD VERSUS BAD ISN'T A GOOD FIT IN THIS SITUATION.

THE ACTS OF MURT AND PERPETRATED AGAINST ISRAELIS IS CONDEMNABLE.

AND EMPHASIZED THE SITUATION FOR PALESTINIANS IN GAZA HAS ONE HAS LONG BEEN NOW THREATENS MORE THAN A GAZA CIVILIANS ARE HORRIFIED BY THE ATTACKS.

THE WHOLE IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN RELIGION AND WORLD WAR II CONFLICT.

AND SPREAD TO ALMOST EVERY STREET CORNER IN THIS COUNTRY AND ACROSS THE WORLD.

MY POINT IS TO REALLY POINT THAT THE OLD CLICH ÉS OF GOOD VERSUS BAD DOESN'T APPLY HERE.

WITH MALEV YUNT ACTORS ON BOTH SIDES.

LET'S ALL DEPLOY THE BEST OF OUR CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AND EMPATHY.

RECOGNIZING THAT ANY TIKTOK OR HYPERBOLIC THREAD ON X.

IN THIS MOMENT IN THE WORLD HISTORY WHEN SO MUCH HANGS IN THE DECISION.

I WOULD ASK THAT THOSE MEMBERS TO REMEMBER THEIR OATH AND PUT THE COUNTRY FIRST.

TO HELP PROVIDE LEADERSHIP AND GET US ALL PEACEFULLY GET TO THROUGH THIS SITUATION.

WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH MOST OF AN ANNUAL LURIE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT'S THAT FOR THAT THE THAT BE OCCLUDED AT 9/17 IN EUREKA.

WHILE THE PARTIAL COVERING OF THE SUN IS EXPECTED TO LAST AROUND TWO HOURS.

EXPERTS THAT THE SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED THAT KEEP THE SKIES CLOUDY TO MOVE ELSEWHERE TO CATCH AN UNIMPEDED VIEW.

>> GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF BILLS WILL HELP TRANSFORM CALIFORNIA'S MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDING A MORE RELIABLE FOR DAU STROUT FAMILY MEMBERS TO COMPEL THEIR FAMILIES MEMBERS INTO TREATMENT.

WE'LL HAVE LEA NAGY FROM THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY FOR THE NAMA TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS AND RAMIFICATIONS.

SHE DID PROVIDE SOME INITIAL RE-SAX.

>> WELL I THINK IT'S DUE.

IT'S TIMELY.

IT'S SO SAD.

SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS AND THEY HAVE A CONDITION WHICH MEANS THEY DON'T HAVE THE INSIGHT OF THEY'RE ILL AND THERE'S A FAMOUS I'M NOT SICK I DON'T NEED HELP.

YOU HEAR OVER EP AND OVER AGAIN FROM FAMILIES AND THE COST OF NOT HELPING PEOPLE GET MEDICATION THAT THEY MAY NOT KNOW THEY NEED IS VERY TRAUMATIC TO OUR SOCIETY.

IN THE CASE OF MY OWN PERSONAL GRANDSON, WHO WAS HOSPITALIZED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY FOR THREE YEARS AND PUT OUT ON THE STREET WITH NOTHING.

HOMELESS, NO PHONE, NO MONEY.

RE-OFFENDED.

HE'S NOW IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY JAIL WITH A VERY SERIOUS FELONY CRIME.

IF HE HAD BEEN HELPED HE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION THAT HE'S IN NOW.

I'M PRETTY POSITIVE.

SO THERE IS THE ISSUE OF ABOUT INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT.

FIRST OF ALL THERE ARE LAWS IN PLACE.

THERE'S A 5150 OF WELFARE CHECKS THAT A PERSON HAS TO BE GRAVELY DISABLED OR DANGER TO OTHERS.

IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN CALL SOMEBODY UP MY GRANDSON NEEDS TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL.

I DO GET HEY I WANT TO CONSERVE MY KID.

NO, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.

SO IT TAKES 5150, AND THEN 5250, AND 14-DAY CERTIFICATION.

IT'S A WHOLE LEGAL PROCESS THAT INDIVIDUALS GO THROUGH WHEN THEY NEED HELP.

>> THE BILL IN QUESTION LOOSENS LONG-STANDING RULES UNDER THE HALF CENTURY LAWS THAT REGULATE INVOLUNTARY CIVIL COMMITMENT OF.

ADVOCATES AND COUNTY LEADERS EXPECT TO LEAD TO MORE PEOPLE BEING PLACED IN TREATMENT FACILITIES AGAINST THEIR WILL.

AND IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AFFECTS US ALL AND PEOPLE WHO NEED THE MOST HELP ARE TOO OFTEN OVERLOOKED AND PEOPLE GET THE HELP THEY NEED AND THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE.

THE BIG IS NAGY WITH THE SERVICES TO TREAT THESE FOLKS.

VOTERS WILL GET A CHANCE IN MARCH BY VOTING FOR A BOND INITIATIVE AND ORR HAUL WITH A REACTION ON MILLIONAIRES.

>> THERE ARE 350,000 SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL IN OUR JAILS.

HEALING OUR PATH FROM MENTAL ILLNESS TO MENTAL HEALTH.

HE HAS A LOT OF STATISTICS IN THERE.

BUT NO WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SERVICES.

WHERE ARE DO WE START.

WE START BY SAYING THIS IS A NEED.

WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FILL OUT.

YOU KNOW THIS WHOLE THING IS GOING TO GO ON THE BALLOT IN MARCH.

PEOPLE CAN DECIDE.

BUT YOU KNOW, JAMES I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A CULTURE AND A SOCIETY IS MEASURED BY HOW THEY TREAT THEIR MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE.

WHEN I DRIVE BY AND I SEE SOMEONE HOMELESS TALK TO THEMSELVES.

I KNOW THAT COULD BE MY SON OR MY GRANDSON OR MY GRANDDAUGHTERS.

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO STEP UP AS A SOCIETY AND WE CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THESE PEOPLE.

IF THEY DON'T REALIZE THEY NEED HELP WE'RE GOING TO HELP THEM GET IT.

>> SO NOW WE'RE INTO THE INTERVIEW.

I'M JOINED BY SOME FROM DELL'ARTE.

AND JULIA DOUGLAS WHO IS THE HEAD OF ARTS ENGAGEMENT.

>> SO YOU GUYS ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT SORT OF A PRESSING SUBJECT.

DELL'ARTE IS HAVING SOME FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.

FIRST I WANT TO SAY I'VE BEEN LIVING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY FOR A LONG TIME.

THEY'VE BROUGHT ME AND MY FAMILY A LOT OF JOY.

THEY'VE BEEN INSPIRING.

ONE REASON IN PARTICULAR IT'S A LEVEL THAT QUALITY YOU DON'T TYPICALLY FIND IN A COMMUNITY OUR SIZE.

THAT PLUS THE HISTORY REALLY MADE AN INSTITUTION IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE AND I'LL PUT MY BIAS OUT THERE I WOULD LIKE YOU GUYS CAN FIGURE THIS OUT.

IF SOMEONE HAS BEEN LIVING ON THE MOON FOR THE LAST 50.

LET'S GIVE THEM A DEFINITION OF DELL'ARTE.

>> IT STARTED ARE IN THE 'STPAERTS EVERY 70s COMING UP TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND TRYING OUT A FEW BERKELEY AND FINDING THE ODD FELLOW HALL IN BLUE WAKE TO START A THEATRE COMPANY AND A SCHOOL THEY WERE JOINED BY JOAN SHIRLEY AND MICHAEL FOREST.

SINCE THAT TIME THEY'VE BEEN RUNNING ONE OF THE FEW INSTITUTIONS LIKE IT.

WE PRODUCE THEATRE ARE THEATER THAT IS RELEVANT TO THE AREA AND STAKE HOLD AND TRADITIONS OF POPULAR THEATRE AND THEN OUR SCHOOL HAS AN INTERNATIONALLY THROUGHOUT ITS ENTIRE EXISTENCE.

IT'S BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINGS.

SUMMER FESTIVALS.

STUDENT RESIDENCIES AND IN RURAL AREAS AND MORE.

>> YOU WILL COVER POLITICS TO CANNABIS.

JULIA WHY IT'S SO FAMOUS FOR WHAT IT DOES.

IT'S ONE OF THE PHYSICAL THEATRE SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY AND ONLY FREE THEATRE SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY.

IT HAS A UNIQUE AS TONY THESE POPULAR STYLES BUT THEATRE STYLES OF COMEDY, AND CLOWN AND MELODRAMA AND EXPRESS THROUGH THE BODY WHICH IS VERY TRUTHFUL AND SHARES THE VISCERAL HUMAN EXPERIENCED.

SO THE COMPANY AND THE SCHOOL IT BEGAN AS ACTORS DOING THEIR ART, MAKING RELEVANT THEATRE FOR THIS PLACE OF THIS PLACE FOR THIS PLACE.

AND THE COMMUNITY AND ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

AND TEACHING YOUNGER ARTISTS THAT ART FORM AND GIVING THEM THE TOOLS TO MAKE THEIR OWN WORK TO WHAT THE STORIES THAT NEED TELLING BRINGING THOSE STORIES TO THEIR COMMUNITIES IF THEY LEAVE HERE.

SOME OFTEN STAY HERE AND BECOME A PART OF THIS COMPANY AND WORK WITH THE COMPANY.

THAT WAS MY INTRODUCTION WAS AS A STUDENT AND COMING HERE, AND IT JUST HAD SUCH AN IMPACT ON MY ART AND ME AS A PERSON WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO COME BACK AND TEACH AND BE A PART OF THE COMPANY.

>> IS KIND OF ALMOST UNHEARD OF.

ON THAT LEVEL ALONE I THINK THIS IS A VALUABLE TRADITION.

YOU MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR HISTORY.

WHAT'S YOUR HISTORY WITH THE SCHOOL.

YEAH.

I STARTED AS A STUDENT A LITTLE OVER 20 YEARS AGO.

AND THEN RETURNED AS A TEACHER A FEW YEARS BEFORE COVID HIT IN MASK MAKING.

AND JUST IN 2022.

>> YES.

>> SOMETIMES THE NUMBERS POST COVID DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE ANYMORE: >> THAT'S ONE OF THE I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE FACING A FINANCIAL SITUATION.

HOW MUCH IS DUE TO COVID.

I KNOW A LOT OF PERFORMING ARTS INSTITUTIONS AND GROUPS SUFFERED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO PERFORM.

IS THIS THE TAIL END OF COVID.

>> IT'S DEFINITELY KIND OF A PERFECT STORM.

SO RIGHT BEFORE COVID FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WERE SHIFTING AND CHANGING.

WE HAD A LONG-TERM GRANT THAT ENDED, AND THEY WERE SORT OF GETTING RID OF THEIR ARTS WING TO FIND NEW FUNDING SOURCES AND EVERYBODY WAS SHUTTERED AND OUR SCHOOL HAD TO PAIR BACK AND NOT DO OUR YEAR LONG FOR A YEAR AND SUNSET THE MFA.

THAT WAS DEFINITELY COVID WAS A BIG, BIG HIT TO EVERYONE.

SINCE I WOULD SAY THE PANDEMIC IS STILL AROUND SINCE THINGS STARTED TO OPEN UP WE HAD COVID FUNDING THAT REALLY SUSTAIN US THROUGH THAT BUT THAT'S DRYING UP NOW.

AND THEN THE CHANGING HABITS OF AUDIENCE AND STUDENTS IS A SHIFTING THING AND THING AS THE NEW ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS.

HOW DO WE CREATE THIS WORK FOR THIS TIME.

THAT ENGAGES FOLKS THEY NEED AND WANT AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

AND JUST FINDING HOW WE CAN DO THAT.

AND GIVE -- HAVE THE A LITTLE MORE TIME WITH A LITTLE MORE FUNDING TO TRY TO RESTRUCTURE AND FIND WHAT MAKING ART TEACHING AND CREATING IN THIS TIME MEANS.

>> YEAH.

IS THERE ANY NUMBERS WE CAN TELL PEOPLE ABOUT.

HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU NEEDING TO RAISE BY WHEN >> WE'RE TRYING TO RAISE $125,000 BY THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.

THAT WILL SERVE TO LARGELY BE A BRIDGE LOAN WHICH HELPS US MAINTAIN BASIC OPERATIONS AND THEN SLOWLY BUILD BACK UP.

WE HAD TO LAYOFF STAFF AND START TO BRING PEOPLE BACK TO BUILD THOSE PROGRAMS BACK SO THOSE PROGRAMS CAN BE SELF FULFILLING.

THERE'S A LOT OF UNPRECEDENTED.

THE COVID FUNDING WAS IMPORTANT AND ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY BUT IT WAS MORE OF A SUSTENANCE OF THAT TIME.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE HABIT CHANGE.

HOW MANY OF US MIGHT STAY IN OUR HOUSES A LITTLE BIT MORE OFTEN THAN WE USED TO.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT THAT CULTURAL SHIFT.

AS WELL AS THE FINANCIAL SHIFT.

>> YEAH.

YOU MENTIONED LAY YAUFTS.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU HAVE TO LAYOFF.

ARE THEY LAID OFF IN TERMS OF A REAL SEVERANCE.

WE'VE LAID OFF FIVE.

>> IN THE SMALL ORGANIZATION.

>> THAT'S CLOSE TO 50%.

>> THAT'S HUGE.

>> WE KIND OF PAIRED BACK A BIT TOO.

AND THE NOW WE'RE NEEDING TO SCALE DOWN EVEN MORE TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN AND BUILD BACK IN THAT WAY.

>> EVEN THOSE SUSTAINING ARE NOT FULL-TIME.

AND IS NOW COME BACK TO TRY TO CONTINUE WITH THE TRADITION.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE IN THIS MOMENT.

AND HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IT'S GOT TO BE SAD AND BITTERSWEET THAT YOU'RE IN THE PREDICAMENT.

PEOPLE ARE CREATIVE WITH SOLVING PROBLEMS AND EXPRESSING THEMSELVES.

WE HAVE ALL OF THAT TO HELP AT THIS TIME.

WE'RE MORNING OF JOAN SHIRLEY WHO DIED AND ONE OF THE AND FOUNDING MEMBERS AND WE HAD A LOT OF CHANGE IN OUR STAFF MICHAEL FIELDS HAS RETIRED AND THOUGH WE HAVE THE BLESSINGS OF THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS WHO REMAIN HUMBOLDT THERE'S STILL THIS KIND OF UNSEEN KIND OF HURDLES TO JUMP OVER.

SO IT'S EXCITING AND SOMETIMES DAUNTING.

I THINK WE CAN DO IT.

>> IT USED TO HAVE AN MFA PROGRAM.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU'RE LOOKING TO BRING BACK IMMEDIATELY.

>> BOTH ARE OUR YEAR LONG PROGRAM AND MFA PROGRAM ARE ON PAUSE.

THEY COST A LOT TO RUN.

AND THE BALANCE OF HOW MANY STUDENTS YOU HAVE AND THE COST IT IS TO RUN THEY NEED TO BALANCE EACH OTHER.

SO WE ALREADY HAVE TO MADE THE CHOICE TO PAUSE BOTH OF THOSE FOR THIS YEAR AND TRY TO MAKE DIFFERENT STRUCTURES PUT IN PLACE FOR DIFFERENT KINDS OF TRAINING.

SHORTER PERHAPS.

MORE LIKE OUR INTENSIVES.

SOME COMMUNITY CLASSES THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO OFFER.

WHICH IS NEW AND EXCITING.

FOLKS THAT MAYBE DON'T WANT TO MOVE INTO THEATRE PROFESSIONALLY OR WANT TO LEARN SOME OF THE SKILLS THAT THEATRE HAS TO PROVIDE AND HELP FOLKS PUBLIC SPEAK OR FEEL MORE EMBODIED.

MOVE MORE FREELY OR LEARN SOME NEW SKILLS.

THAT'S AVAILABLE.

AND WE'RE ALSO OUR PRISON ARTS PROGRAM IS CONTINUING.

>> EXCELLENT.

SO WE'RE SUPPORTING THAT IN THIS TIME.

WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THOSE NEW STRUCTURES WE DO PLAN AND FIGURE OUT TO HELP BRING US BACK WILL BE ABLE TO COME TO FRUITION.

WE HAVE HOPES AND SOME IDEAS AND WE NEED TO GET SOME MORE SUPPORT TO BRING US INTO THE 50th ANNIVERSARY WHICH IS TO CELEBRATE THE PAST AND THE LEGACY AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THE DELL'ARTE HAS BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN TEACHING IN SCHOOLS AND TEACHING INTERNATIONALLY.

ALL OF THAT CELEBRATE AND BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE.

BECAUSE WE ARE A NEW ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP AND WE ARE A WE WANT TO TEACH THE NEXT GENERATION OF THEATRE MAKERS.

WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT ALMOST WEEKLY WHICH IS REALLY SAD AS TONY I THINK WE HAVE THE SCRAPPINESS THE TRANSFORMATION THE TRABLT TO TRANSFORM AND BE CREATIVE.

>> THE OTHER THING IS COMMUNITY BUY IN.

THE COMMUNITY LOVES YOUR PRODUCT.

IT LOVES WHAT YOU DID.

IT WHAT IT DOES FOR THE COMMUNITY'S OWN STATURE.

TO HAVE AN INSTITUTION AROUND HERE.

ARE THERE STUDENTS CURRENTLY ATTENDING.

HAVE THEY BEEN INFORMED.

>> WE DO HAVE OUR COMMUNITY CLASSES STILL RUNNING AND OUR PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO KEEP OUR PROMISE TO THE PUBLIC AND KEEP SOME MOMENTUM GOING.

>> ONE OF THE QUESTION I WAS KIND OF INTRIGUED BY IT OCCURRED TO ME EARLIER ONE OF THE THINGS PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT DELL'ARTE YOU HAVE THIS UNIQUE COMEDIC AND SAW TAERK.

AS TWO CONTENT CREATIVERS FOR DELL'ARTE WHAT'S THE APPROACH THERE.

OR THERE'S A PERSPECTIVE OR INTELLIGENCE ABOUT IT.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE HOW YOU APPROACH DOING THE LOCAL PIECES.

>> I THINK YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE COMMON HUMANITY TO SEE THE COMMON FOIBLES.

BY POKING AT OURSELVES AND WE CAN POKE FUN AT EVERYONE ELSE.

SOMETIMES WE'RE OFF OUR ROCKER.

>> ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD.

>> WITH COMEDIC AND CLOWN THEY ARE THEY OFTEN A VULNERABILITY AND THEY REQUIRE A VULNERABILITY THAT TRUE HUMANITY.

AND I THINK IT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO SEE THEMSELVES IN THAT HUMANITY AND THAT BEAUTIFUL IMPERFECTION.

AND THEN JUST LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT INSPIRE US THAT WE CARE ABOUT.

THAT ARE HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND IN THE WORLD.

AND WHAT IS THE JUICE THERE.

WHAT IS AT THE HEART OF THAT AND THEN MINING FOR THAT.

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERS THAT LIVE IN THAT WORLD AND HOW DO WE ENGAGE WITH THE ISSUE AND TRY TO SHOW ALL SIDES OF IT.

ENGAGE IN A PHYSICAL WAY THAT CAN BE FELT BY THE AUDIENCE.

>> I THINK THERE'S NOTHING FUNNIER THAN PHYSICS.

>> YOU HIT A WALL SOMETIMES IT'S GOING TO BE FUNNY MOST OF THE TIME.

>> YOU FEEL IT.

YOU FEEL IT.

>> A REPORT IN THE SOMETIMES STANDARD SOME OF THESE ISSUES ARE BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT.

I'LL GIVE YOU SOME SPACE TO REACT.

YOU ARE A NEW CREATIVE TEAM.

YOU MAY NOT BE INVOLVED IN THAT ASPECT OF IT.

CAN YOU TALK WHETHER OR NOT IT'S BECAUSE OF MANAGEMENT DECISION OR ISSUES WITH THE COVID AND CHANGING HABITS >> I THINK THE BOARD AND ADMIN HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER IN CONCERT TO ALWAYS ADJUST AND COURSE CORRECT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE FINANCIALLY SOUND AS EVER BE.

ALL SORTS OF SURPRISING TIMES.

BUT OUR AIM IS ALWAYS THERE.

>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE TEAM DYNAMIC.

OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LAID OFF.

IS THERE ANY BITTERNESS.

>> I THINK THAT YOU KNOW WE ALL CARE ABOUT DELL'ARTE AND WANT IT TO CONTINUE.

THAT IS A RECURRING SENTIMENT A DESIRE TO KIND OF HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.

IT'S SAD.

IT'S HARD.

THERE'S LOTS OF BIG FEELINGS WE'RE ALL FEELINGS.

BUT I DO FEEL WE ARE A TEAM EVEN AND ALL WANT THE SAME GOAL AS WE SHIFT IN OUR FORMATION.

REALLY FELT AND REALLY BEEN GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT AND JUST LOVE OF THE PLACE, AND SEEING IT THRIVE AND CONTINUE.

>> YOU GUYS DO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HAVING CONNECTS TO POSSIBLY ONE OF THE TALENT POOLS IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY IN TERMS OF ALL OF YOUR STUDENTS.

ALL OVER THE WORLD.

HAS THIS BEEN A CALL PUT OUT TO RAISE A LITTLE MONEY OR DO SOMETHING.

>> OUR FIRST ROUND HAS BEEN INFORMATIONAL.

OUR NEXT ONE WILL BE LOTS OF DIFFERENT CALLS.

FOR FUND-RAISING.

HELP THEM REMEMBER THEIR JOY BEING TOGETHER.

THE JOY BEING TOGETHER IN A THEATRICAL SPACE AND LAUGHING TOGETHER.

WE'RE LOOKING TO DO THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IT'S BEEN GREAT TO SEE THE ALUMNI RESPONSE ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA JUST BLASTING THE NOTICE OF THIS AND ALSO THE PRESS RELEASE AND THE CALL TO DONATE STARTING THEIR OWN FUND-RAISING CAMPAIGNS IN CONCERT WITH OURS.

AND REACHING OUT TO THEIR COMMUNITIES.

THAT LARGER DELL'ARTE DIASPORA THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

WE'RE HOPING TO BRING ALUMNI INTO HAVE A BIG CELEBRATION HOPEFULLY TO REACH THAT SUMMER GOAL AND HAVE A BIG CELEBRATION WITH LOTS OF ALUMNI FOLKS >> ON THAT POINT DEATH.com.

THERE'S NO APOSTROPHE.

>> NO APOSTROPHE, NO DASH.

>> IT'S ON OUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN GO THERE AND THERE'S A DONATION PORTAL YOU CAN CLICK ON.

THERE'S A PICK YOU HAVE TO CLICK.

AND THERE'S ALSO A P.O.

BOX 816.

AND IF PEOPLE WANT TO SEND MONEY OR WELL WISHES OR WHATEVER MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP I'M SURE THAT THE FOLKS AT DELL'ARTE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP.

>> OVER 50 YEARS.

WHAT DATE IS THE ACTUAL 50th ANNIVERSARY.

THAT IS -- >> THEY CAME HERE IN '71.

TELL ME IF I'M AND THEN '74 WAS WHEN THE COMPANY WAS REALLY FOUNDED AS THE DELL'ARTE PLAYERS.

>> SO THE SUMMER WILL KICK OFF THE 50th YEAR.

>> IT'S THE START OF THE 50th YEAR.

LIKE THE CENTENNIAL THING IN EUREKA WHERE THE WHOLE YEAR.

>> YEAH.

>> SO THAT QUESTION WAS BASICALLY GET TO THE POINT IF DELL'ARTE CLOSES ITS DOORS WHAT DO YOU THINK HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND EUREKA LOSES AS A RESULT OF THAT CLOSURE.

WE HAVE TWO MINUTES LEFT.

>> OKAY.

I THINK THAT I MEAN IT LOSES THIS CULTURAL INSTITUTION THAT HAS BROUGHT THIS UNIQUE BRAND OF THEATRE AND TRAINING AND ENGAGEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY WITHIN GOING TO RURAL COMMUNITIES.

OTHER RURAL COMMUNITIES BRINGING THE TRAINING AND ARTS AND HELPING THEM CREATE THEATRE IN OUR RURAL RESIDENCY PROGRAMS.

THERE'S SO MANY PROGRAMS THAT ARE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE AREA THAT WE'VE REALLY BEEN WITH AND THROUGH FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND I THINK THAT THAT SORT OF MIRROR OF THIS PLACE THROUGH OUR WORK AS WELL AS THIS VERY UNIQUE TRAINING, AND ALL OF THE FOLKS THAT WE ENGAGE WITH IN ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS.

IT WOULD BE A BIG LOSS.

>> 30 SECONDS.

>> IT'S A STRONG WAY TO CONNECT IN PERSON.

SHARE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE THINGS HAPPENING LOCALLY AND WE'LL MISS ALL OF THE LAUGHTER AND ALL OF THE CELEBRATION OF STRANGE HUMANITY THAT WE ARE.

>> I LOVE THAT.

THAT'S WHAT'S WONDERFUL ABOUT DELL'ARTE.

HOW BEAUTIFULLY WONDERFULLY AND ODD AND COOL.

I ENCOURAGE OUR FOLKS AT HOME TO DONATE.

DIG DEEP.

WE'RE A GENEROUS COMMUNITY.

AND THE THEY'VE BEEN THAT'S IT FOR TONIGHT.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

STAY TUNED AND STAY INFORMED.

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th.
