Hello, to our beloved New Circle Theatre Company community!

Thank you to each and every one of you for your incredible support in the past years, and especially over the 2023-2024 season.

Though we saw much change and much loss last year, we doggedly pursued our mission of developing bold new plays. We…

  • Offered a spectacular run of high-quality Monday night readings, with intriguing scripts read by top-notch actors

  • Revamped our feedback procedure, to make sure the talkbacks are fun, inclusive, and enlightening for both the playwrights and the company at large

  • Presented numerous high-quality productions and workshops, each designed to help the playwright emerge with a stronger and more polished play

Week by week, we’ve seen this company grow and expand. As we move into our 9th season, we want to keep building, growing, and getting better!

To that end:

Now, we need YOUR help - so we can give back more to you.

To be frank: Since we didn’t have a fundraising drive last year, we’re low on funds going into this fall – so we’re launching a fundraising campaign for 2024-2025.

It runs from now through Dec 31st of this year.

After you check out the fundraising video and appeal, may we ask you for your help in at least one of three ways?

Could you please:

  • …donate any amount, great or small. ($25? $50? $100? More? Any amount helps!)

  • …share this fundraising appeal with your friends with a personal message saying what NCTC means to you? (Most donations come from friends of community members) Please include our appeal and donation link:

https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/new-circle-theatre-company/campaigns/6401

  • …and/or, if your company makes corporate or matching donations, ask them to donate to our campaign?


    Your money will be going directly to:

  • Producing our 6 planned Sandbox shows for this season - including a festival of short plays in the spring, featuring new and returning playwrights

  • Presenting another holiday edition of our crowd-pleasing, community-building “7 Over 7,” in which we involve as many actors, writers, and directors as possible

  • Paying actors, writers, directors, designers, and stage managers of our productions (To be clear: although we are a volunteer company, we pay the artists when they work in our space. Stipends are modest – from $75-$200 based on the project – but these add up quickly!)

  • Launching at least two new seminars: Devised Theater and Puppetry, for which we will pay our seminar leaders an honorarium

  • Creating a new Accessibility Initiative, in which we rent an accessible space at least twice in fall and twice in spring, so that we can be more welcoming and inclusive

  • General upkeep of the Michael Warren Powell Creative Center (insurance, internet, stocking the supplies…)


We’re all a part of this big beautiful Circle, and we’re all in this together – so please check out the fundraising campaign and please lend us a helping hand.

Let’s keep building and growing together!

With love and thanks,
Emily, Jen, Ed, and the Board of Directors
