"So Help Me Todd" gave our family an opportunity to all watch a show together. So many shows can be awkward to watch with mixed age groups but this one combined simple slapstick comedy, that can appeal to both younger and older viewers, with more subtle and provocative humor to engage the thoughtful.
It is so important to provide programming that can unite viewers of different ages. It desrves a longer run. This show reminids me of "Psych". Hopefully SHMT will be resurrected in some way like "Psych".
Diana supported: Reinstate So Help Me Todd & Four More, Strike Honoring, Unethically Canceled CBS Series.The theater program has been a very important part of my brother’s life so far, I’ve never seen him more happy and content with what he does.
Benjamin supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractDr. Joshua Kelly's passion for theatre and literature has long reaching effects on his students. As a former student, the tools I learned in his classes have carried through to my professional life. Theatre and literature gave me a space to explore individuality, challenge myself critically, and discover the power of my words and performance. These are critical programs that inspire and drive students to succeed and innovate in all areas of life. Cutting these programs is cutting into the heart and passion of current students and preventing new students from getting the chance to discover their voice and find the same acceptance, drive, and success that so many others did.
Kaylee supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractTheatre is an impactful outlet for so many of those who contribute to the program. Expelling it from the curriculum can take a toll on those in the community that value this form of art. There are so many negative factors that come with being a college student and the theatre is a pure and beautiful way for students to express themselves, do not restrict them from that.
Selena supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractWhen budget cuts loom, theatre and arts programs are always the first to go. It’s such a shame, because these programs are training future artists y bring joy and value through our world. Is that not worth something? Garden City’s program is clearly a quality one, and these amazing performers deserve a chance to hone their craft.
Julie supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractI am a professor at Kansas State University. Garden City CC has produced some amazing Theatre students over the years. Theatre and the arts are not just "for fun" - they give out life meaning, understanding. Numbers, data - this is nothing without storytellers and artists who give it a human perspective. As for professional training - well, the arts and entertainment are HUGE business in the US. Look no further than all the high schools, theme parks, cruises, Netflix, parades, conventions, etc. Don't do this . . .
Shannon supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractAs an alumni, I am disappointed in GCCC to end the theatre program. The theatre program is the one community venue for live theatre and performances. I have heard nothing but praise for this program over the last few years and was excited for GCCC to have a strong program. I think this is concerning for the arts programs overall and deserves further review and input from the community.
Amy supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractTheatre is a historically undervalued asset to both education and the community. While everyone loves to watch their streaming services and movies at the cineplex, we continually cut funding to our local Arts organizations. You can't have one and not the other. Theatre is where many, including myself, find and cultivate their voices, their passions, their direction in life. It isn't just where people dream of becoming actors, it is where they develop a sense of belonging within a community. Please consider this when making decisions and not just looking at a direct monetary funnel. The risk IS worth the reward.
Lewis supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractTheatre is a very inclusive and helpful program for everyone to experience. Taking it away from people who love it, and want to get into it, is just cruel. Theatre is something that helps people connect, boost self esteem, and can help build confidence. Which could be something incredibly valuable to college students. And people in general can enjoy the shows they put up at the college. Removing it removes something valuable and important to the people of this community. I revise that you do not take this program down.
Emelin supported: Urge The GCCC Board of Trustees to Renew Dr. Joshua Kelly’s ContractTheater is something that is very important in my life, its one of my biggest passions and I’m sure it’s also many other peoples passion. To simply remove theater from GCCC is taking away so much from Garden City.
