On December 9th, 2018 — the very day of this event — the Renaissance Players closed It’s A Wonderful Life, where our event’s namesake, Carey Thompson, brought Clarence to life with such heart and joy. ✨
In Carey’s memory, the Dickson Arts Council created The Clarence Fund — a legacy of love dedicated to something our theatre community has prayed and dreamed of: a true home for the arts in Dickson County. A place where creativity, community, storytelling, and connection can flourish for generations.
So as you consider giving this Christmas season, we invite you to remember The Clarence Fund. 🤍
A gift that helps build a space for friends, family, laughter, love, and the kind of magic that stays with us long after the curtain falls.
