Events
the COVID-19 pandemic brought our curtains down and dimmed the lights on our stage. The shutdowns hit us hard, putting tremendous financial strain on our organization. But even during those dark times, our dedicated staff and artists kept the spirit of theatre alive, never losing sight of the joy it brings to countless lives.
Unfortunately, recent health problems within our staff have added to the burden. Their unwavering commitment to our mission deserves our utmost support, and we are determined to stand with them during their time of need. To do so, we must pay off our mortgage, which has a balloon payment coming up very soon.
We are reaching out to generous patrons like you who have been an integral part of our theatre's journey. Your support has made many unforgettable performances possible, touching the hearts of thousands in our community. Today, we humbly ask for your continued support to help us rise above these challenges and flourish once again.

The effects of the shutdown have been staggering to The New Vic and the actors, students, writers, designers, and staff who rely on us.
