The whiplash of arts management... DCLA proposal denied (again!). Not surprising, but still... BUT, same day, an amazing new play proposal! So now: explore ALL funding options, brainstorm partnerships, double down on advocacy. Find a budget line to trim & commission this play. Make great plays.

In 2025, we're committed to welcoming more individuals into our org by filling existing vacancies on our Board. They are our most ardent champions – folks who believe in the power of theatre, in fostering community & in our continued growth. Interested in joining? Connect with us for info.

Suspending gov't funds directly affects arts orgs like ours. You might say "you don't get NEA $$, how does this impact you?" Venues we rent depend on gov't $$ to remain open, other companies rent space & purchase goods bought w/ gov't $$. This affects the entire arts community nationwide. #tyrant47

A great opportunity for playwrights, from our friends at Working Theatre theworkingtheater.org/mark-plesent...

Excited to be here! We're going to be sharing details about Indie Theatre producing in New York City, what we have coming up, and how much we'd love to have you in the audience. Let's dance! #theatre #indietheatre #offoffbroadway
