Community is at the heart of what we do at The 5 & Dime—the stories we tell, the conversations we spark, the artists and patrons we collaborate with, and the partnerships we forge. It is because of this community that we are able to enter our 11th season of producing theatre, especially after a global pandemic that brought us to a screeching halt. As we get back on our feet, community and collaboration is what drives our mission forward.
With that being said, we’ve got some exciting news!
We’re pleased to share that Cowford Realty & Design is The 5 & Dime’s 2022 Season Sponsor!
Cowford Realty & Design’s support comes at the perfect moment during our nomadic journey; it ensures that we have a safe, inviting, and creative space for our artists to rehearse all of the stories we’ll bring to the community in 2022.
"Cowford Realty & Design is honored to be able to support The 5 & Dime.
