Dark Theater was created thanks to the support of 101 individuals who contributed to our Kickstarter campaign supporting the creation of Dark Theater.  We absolutely could not have done this without our Dance Heginbotham family, and would like to thank each and every backer.  Special thanks to Alison Bryant, Mary Cronson, Caroline Cronson, Timothy Jones, Maira Kalman, Isaac Mizrahi, Mel and Amy Okamura, Jim Slaughter and Cath Maciver, Ricky Lopes, Ellen Offner, and Megan Williams.
