Support the future:
The COVID-19 health crisis is unprecedented in our lifetimes. None of us know how the coming months will unfold, or the extent of the lasting impact on our community. Your donation to PlayFund supports PlayCo’s ongoing experiments with artists to make theatre for a new reality as we re-emerge. More than ever, we’ll all need to join together for performances that lift our spirits and spark our imaginations. Help us be ready!
We expect the coming months to be a gradual and most likely bumpy journey to live theatre that, at least for a time, will be experienced differently than we’re used to. Experimentation, commissions and partnerships are key to the future of theatre that is relevant and healing, and that we can share in rapid response to changing circumstances. When rehearsal rooms and theatres reopen, we’re determined to resume production of Lunch Bunch at the earliest opportunity. And we have several more projects in the pipeline for future production, including works by Abhishek Majumdar, Lee Sunday Evans and Christopher Chen, and Anne Lepper.

Support Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Social Justice & Access:
Racist brutality and murder across the country, and the COVID-19 crisis shine a searing light on the inequities and injustice in our society.
We all need to be agents of change. PlayCo’s future rests on our commitment to, and successful fulfillment of, work that upholds values of anti-racism, equity, inclusion, diversity and social justice within our own organization, our industry, and our community.
Every production is the basis for shared action to bring our community together around issues and ideas that shape our lives. We partner with social justice, cultural, educational and social service organizations to leverage stories for positive change and build inclusive audiences, working together to co-program free public events and conversations in our Idea Lab series, and connect underserved New Yorkers with artists and their work.
Price will not be a barrier to our work. We maintain modest regular ticket prices, and offer further subsidies through our OpenHouse access program, which has served 1,169 students, artists, and community partner constituents since 2018.
