It’s been a long time coming, but yesterday marked a big milestone for the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP). For the first time in 16 months, GSMP held an in-person meeting with our public and private sector investors.
I was delighted to hold a meeting where I did not have to share a slide via Zoom screen share or remind attendees about virtual etiquette. 16 months ago, at the March 4, 2020 meeting, we talked about our exciting plans for SXSW and upcoming marketing trips… little did we know what was to come.

The Wimberley Players has been providing live theater to Central Texans for 40 years. But 2020 disrupted its entire production season.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the Wimberley Players to adapt, moving to streaming its productions. But like many in the arts, it suffered too.
“We are a live theater company so our whole business basically thrives on putting a lot of people in one room, which is not pandemic friendly,” Wimberley Players Executive Manager Simone Corprew said. “It s been a huge, huge hit for us. Obviously, theater is kind of an industry that has really suffered. And, unfortunately, the arts are exactly what we need right now at a time when so many people are suffering.”
