Clear Space Gives Back shows net $16K for CAMP Rehoboth

Clear Space Theatre Company recently presented  performances of “Everybody's Talking About Jamie,” as part of its annual Clear Space Gives Back program.

Due to high demand, Clear Space doubled the number of shows to four this year, raising a record $16,272 donation for this year’s beneficiary, CAMP Rehoboth.

Funds donated amount to 50% of all box office revenue from the show's run. The play follows the story of an LGBTQIA+ teen pursuing his dreams of self-expression.

Clear Space Artistic Director David Button said, "In the current climate, a story of hope and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ youth felt like the perfect way to support CAMP Rehoboth and help further their message of creating a more positive Rehoboth. In the show, the character of Jamie New achieves his dreams thanks to supportive friends, family and found family. CAMP Rehoboth provides that for everyone in our region each day."

Kim Leisey, CAMP Rehoboth executive director, said, "This show shares in CAMP Rehoboth's mission to create a more understanding and inclusive community for everyone, especially for our youth. It was a touching performance. Thank you to Clear Space for inviting us to be part of this project."

After each performance, audience members had the opportunity to get to know CAMP Rehoboth's leadership during a champagne and dessert reception.
