2025-2026 Season Sponsor

The Family of Jane Swafford Davis - 2025-2026 Season Sponsor at Pull-Tight Players

Since Adam and Eve, nothing has been born mature.

A drop of water falling into the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River spends three months reaching the Gulf of Mexico. Innumerable others join that single drop to form the great river.

A parallel: Pull-Tight’s journey to reach the skill level of the production you are about to see did not happen overnight. Its journey has been 57 years, hundreds of supporters, amateur actors, and crew that have fostered the growth. And you, the patrons, have contributed.

Those early drops of water that birthed and sustained the fledgling river are important but easily lost in the flow. Most of the Pull-Tight originals have enjoyed their final curtain call. The same is true for those who worked behind the scenes in a nameless and uncredited capacity. While actors may be remembered, supporting members are less likely to fall into that category.

Jayne Swafford Davis was an integral factor in the early life of Pull-Tight – not on stage, rarely mentioned in the program-but an idea person. She instigated the sale of season tickets – perhaps 25 then but now 700 – and promoted the idea of an end-season banquet (now The Knot Awards). She helped with publicity, worked the door, and took reservations on her home phone.

Jayne was one of those dedicated souls – along with those named Sullivan, Cobb, Peach, Stevens, Ormes, and Mancuso – who helped keep the Pull-Tight stream flowing until it became the river it is today. She always experienced joy and excitement when attending this theater. Jayne departed this life in September 2024, a patron to the end.

The Davis family dedicates this season to you in her honor.
