If you do decide to donate monetarily anywhere between $5-$20 or more if you are feeling even more generous, it will help us continue to bring theatre to the Southside community of Chicago! This past year we have been able to have our own office building on 79th street in Chicago, where we are able to hold small community events and rehearsals and we want to make sure we keep our building into many years to come when we upgrade to an even bigger space in the next 5 years to come.

We have raised $5,430 of our $20k goal for our 2025-2026 season!

Unfortunately due to tax cuts one of our biggest grants for the year hasn’t been unable to renew as they have cut their grant funding. This grant was worth $20k and it allowed us to be able to do a full production, BIPOC Play Fest that employs at a minimum 5 playwrights, 5 directors and 10 actors a year and Winter Staged Reading Series that employs at a minimum 2 playwrights, 2 directors and 5-7 actors. That funding also allowed us to continue to keep our ticket prices reasonable to reflect our communities income. We always aim to make all of our art related events affordable for our community members to attend.

Special thanks goes out to our recent donors:

*As a reminder all donations are tax exempt as we are a 501 c3 non profit.*
