Why, Hello There…

As you’ve surely heard by now, Ivy Theatre Company is back!

Katie and Audrey, aka Team Ivy Theatre, have been bringing you challenging, conversation-sparking, super awesome theatre for eight years; now we need your help to take us to Italy!

Our goal is to share a new understanding of PTSD: we are producing Reach by Ryan Sprague, featuring Katie Braden as Leila and Brandon Ferraro as Jordan.

$5,000 will allow us to produce 2 nights in NYC AND take the show to Italy via the OnStage! Festival.

What’s Your Impact?

Regional theatre companies say 50% of funding comes from grants and donations, but for indie theatre, the rate is more like 80%. Obviously, we can’t do this without you.

Wait, what’s Ivy Theatre about?

Hang on, you didn’t read about us in the New York Times or see us as a Time Out New York’s ‘Critic’s Pick’?! Well, we produce plays that tackle issues ranging from:
• the struggle of coming to terms with homosexuality from both the male and female perspectives
• stories encompassing the transgender umbrella *featuring transgender actors*
•questions about porn, sexual violence, and the acceptance of female sexuality
• the industrial exploitation of small towns
•class and gender divides.

The majority of our casts, design teams, and crew have been (and will continue to be) women, people of color and LGBTQIA+ artists.

So, what’s on the line?

Producing theatre is an expensive endeavor. If we can’t raise enough funds, our ability to share this dynamic story is limited. We have plane tickets, rent, set pieces, and props to buy, and we want the artists to get paid too! Here’s where your money goes:
•$1,000 pays rent (we need rehearsal and performance space)
•$1,600 to pay artists
•$1,700 (flights)
•$700 (materials for set, lights, props, and costumes)
•7% of every donation goes to fees for our fiscal sponsorship

Now what?

First off, thank you so much for your support! Now, we need your help spreading the word. Please invite three friends to check out this campaign, and come see our NYC production on October 16th or 17th.
