Wild Swan theater disbands
The Ann Arbor-based company offered children’s and family theater programs since 1980.
“After more than four decades of joyful, exuberant, sometimes zany, sometimes poignant, always heartfelt theater making, it is time to say our goodbyes,” announced the organization Monday. “We started Wild Swan with nothing but an idea of a kind of theater that could possibly exist, accessible and affordable for everyone.”
Through the years, more than 1 million attending Wild Swan shows and 100,000 took its workshops.
“When we started, people asked how long will you do this for? We answered we can’t do this forever. Now is the time to stop performing,” said Wild Swan. “We can’t thank you enough for coming along with us on this journey.”
