SUPPORT WP THEATER

For over forty years, WP Theater’s mission has remained focused on serving Women+ artists, and never more so than this past year. Despite constant change and industry-wide uncertainty during the COVID-19 shutdown and subsequent New York PAUSE order, WP has proudly:

– Produced six incredible pieces of theater and a groundbreaking film and shared them with almost 4,000 audience members just like you at absolutely no cost
– Employed more than 140 artists during our ‘20 – ’21 season and 10 administrators who made it all happen behind the scenes
– Continued our dedication to new works and new artists with our ‘20 – ’22 WP Lab

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

BENEFITS OF GIVING

WP Theater’s work was available virtually during 2020 and 2021, but we returned to our theater in July with our limited capacity presentation of MBB’s Many Happy Returns. Your safety, and the safety of our artists, staff, crew, and community, are of the utmost importance to us.  You can learn more about how we’re keeping you safe by clicking HERE.

We have expanded the benefits of your giving so that your perks will be honored during this season if you donated between March 1, 2020 and September 7, 2021. Thank you for your support – we are truly grateful.

When we say Women+ we mean people who are cis women, trans, non-binary, or gender-nonconforming people, and all gender identities which have been systematically oppressed throughout history in the theater and beyond.
