Meet Rent Supporting Sponsor Linda Wolf
Meet Rent Supporting Sponsor Linda Wolf
At Clear Space Theatre, our productions are brought to life in part through the generous support of our community! Throughout the year we are thrilled to share some of our sponsors’ stories. We hope you’ll get to enjoy meeting Linda Wolf, the supporting sponsor for this summer’s production of Rent.
Before retiring, Linda spent much of her career in education, including over two decades at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland. Since coming to live in coastal Delaware, she has become an invaluable fixture at Clear Space Theatre Company. Beyond being a sponsor this season, Linda is actively involved on the Clear Space Producer’s Circle and can frequently be seen volunteering with our front of house team as an usher or a greeter. Here is a little bit of our conversation with her about her support of Rent.
What inspired you to sponsor this show?
Rent is one of my favorite shows. So when I heard it was being done, I had to support it.
How did you first get involved with Clear Space Theatre?
Friends of mine brought me to see a play at Clear Space in 2009 and I’ve been coming ever since.
What role do the arts play in your own life?
I was exposed to the arts at an early age through dance classes and piano lessons. Ever since, I’ve used the arts as a way of expression as well as entertainment.
Why do you believe supporting the arts in our community matters?
I believe the arts help people become more well-rounded as adults. They allow people to see different situations through a lens other than their own.
How familiar were you with this show before? What was your favorite thing about it?
I’ve seen Rent about five times and am always moved by the story and amazed by the music.
When you saw the show, was there a message or moment that really resonated with you?
I have friends that lived through—and some that passed during—this time. For me, the show honors them.
What would you say to someone considering seeing this show?
Be prepared to be entertained by a wonderful score and caught up in a powerful story.
In addition to Linda serving as Rent‘s supporting sponsor, we are deeply grateful to Dave McCarthy & Associates for their generosity as Rent‘s presenting sponsor. Look for a blog post about them in the weeks to come!
