FEEDBACK
A few of your favorite things
I’ve been receiving lots of great responses to The Flying P’s welcome email question “What’s your favorite thing about the Phipps,” so I thought I’d share a few (they’ve all been really great).
If you sent one in, thanks for touching base!
If you didn’t send one in, YOU OWE ME.
I love the location!
The design of the theater 😃
I love the sense of a welcoming community at the Phipps, and the great volunteer opportunities.
My favorite thing about the Phipps is the tiny, sunlit gallery room, upstairs, with a view that looks out to the water.
So far, my favorite part of the Phipps has been the pottery class.
Great restaurants nearby for a pre-show or post-show snack, or just go for a casual walk by the river or down the street.
My current favorite thing about the Phipps is that they have a newsletter about flying pee.
It helped me find my new passion: ceramics 😁😁
My favorite thing about the Phipps is the awesome kids camps that you offer in the summer!
My favorite thing about the Phipps is the rockstar staff (especially the production team).
My favorite thing to do at the Phipps is tap dance. My friends and I have been doing this for at least 15 years.
I enjoy the behind-the-scenes tours of the Phipps [Phipps Community Day]!
My favorite thing about The Phipps is that it has 6 Councils which all play an active part in the many things happening at the Phipps!!
It is a promise of nourishment for artistic endeavors that is accessible to me.
😊
