Greg Tate of the HartBeat Ensemble has been an important part of Hartford’s artistic community. They create original plays based on the place where they live...and work with school systems to create student theater works.

Tate has been diagnosed with lung cancer - and has been sharing intimate details of his treatment on a simple blog called “Greg Tate Updates.”

Tonight at 7PM, a large group of his artistic friends, including former Where We Live guests Sea Tea Improv and Mixashawn, and WNPR’s own Chion Wolf are celebrating him in a program at the Mark Twain House...it’ll be a benefit to help cover his medical expenses.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
