Bring communities together through the power of live theatre.
This year, you can help provide opportunities for meaningful connections through powerful discussion beyond the stage by donating to Studio 180 Theatre’s CREATING CONNECTION fundraising campaign.
Our campaign aims to raise $20,000 by December 31, 2019, which will be used to support our Studio 180 Beyond the Stage programming and provide opportunities for public discourse, community engagement, and new community connections. You can make more events like these possible, and further connections created by making a donation to Studio 180. As an added incentive, Studio 180 Theatre’s Board of Directors is matching all new, increased, and automatic monthly donations made by December 31st up to $2,500.
Join us in creating opportunities for building community. Together, we can deepen connections to the theatre, to important political issues, and to each other.
Studio 180’s Beyond the Stage Program helps spark important discussions about the issues that matter, and we offer a number of ways for you to engage with our artists, subject matter experts, community organizations and the issues featured in the play. This season will boast events such as pre and post-show talkbacks, special panel discussions, and lobby exhibits. Learn more about the connections these programs can create with a letter from Audrey Birenbaum and Debora Merowitz, who met and became friends through Studio 180 EATS.
How your contribution helps
- $50 buys an hour of space for a community engagement event
- $150 engages a speaker for a pre-show chat or post-show discussion
- $300 enables an artist to bring in a piece of work as part of a lobby exhibit paired to the production
