If you made it, we hope you enjoyed the show!

Our goal is to help Push Party secure a future life at a larger theater where it can reach more people. We’d be so grateful if you’d support our outreach efforts and our investment in Push Party’s next life.  

In case you missed it, here are some of the highlights of our production

Our partnership with the Foundation allowed us to invite a wide range of community groups whose missions aligned with the themes of the play. We’re so grateful to have been able to offer them complimentary tickets and snacks along with a great show! These groups included: Exodus Transitional Community, Harlem Children’s Zone, Hour Children, Maroon Theatre Project, The Birthing Place and Maryam (supported by The Victoria Project)
