SUPPORT WP THEATER

For more than 45 years, WP Theater’s mission has remained focused on serving Women+ artists, and never more so than now. Despite constant change and industry-wide uncertainty, in the past year, WP has proudly:

– Produced three brand new works for the stage 

– Partnered with viBe Theater Experience on the Pages to Stages development program for young artists including their culminating project– staged readings of four new 10-minute plays.

– Launched the WP Space Program, an initiative to offer discounted space at WP Theater’s home @ 76th and Broadway and to provide affordable producing options for our artistic community.

– Continued our dedication to new works and new artists in collaboration with the 15 writers, directors, and producers of our celebrated Lab residency, as we prepare for our ‘24 Pipeline Festival.

– Employed more than 35 artists during our ‘22 – ’23 season and 8 administrators who made it all happen behind the scenes.

Our #WPCommunity includes all of us: artists, donors, staff, audiences, local businesses, and more.Your support helps us continue the vital, resilient, and necessary work of Women+ artists.

FAQs

Q: So if I donate at the $500 level or above, I get benefits?

Yup! WP donors at the $500+ level enjoy a host of benefits as outlined above. It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting Women+ artists and their work!

Q: What does “priority access” mean?

The priority access period takes place about two weeks before the public on-sale date for each production. $500+ donors who receive priority access as a benefit will be notified via email in advance.

Q: What seats do I have access to?

WP gives priority for the best seats in the house to donors, so when you donate at the 500+ level, you have access to the best available locations.

Q: Do I get VIP Invites?

Donors at the $1,000-$2499 level are invited to be our guests at one VIP Night performance of one of our Mainstage shows. Donors at the $2500 level and above are invited to all X VIP Night performances at each of our X Mainstage shows. The VIP performance date for each production is set and shared at the start of each season.

Q: I’m a donor, but I want to attend with a friend who is not. Can I purchase additional tickets during the priority access window?

Yes! You can purchase as many tickets as you like during or after the donor priority access window – and never have to pay a service fee!
