Your donation is pivotal support that allows us to establish SitW's roots as an unconventional theatre organization working towards a sustainable infrastructure in VT. It allows us to employ some of the most exciting new and emerging theatre artists in the industry, which then enables SitW to maintain a high quality of production while stretching our creative ambitions!
SitW is at its core a manifestation of queer artistic expression. The company has built a creative space in Southern VT for BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ artists to bring their full uncompromising selves to their work, which also provides a cyclical opportunity with audiences, especially those holding intersecting identities, to experience authentic representation in theatre.
We believe that the arts enriches daily life and that it's an incredible way to invest in community. With your donation, you're not only supporting SitW, but a thriving and accessible arts scene in the Green Mountains!
Shakespeare in the Woods is fiscally sponsored by The Center for Arts and Learning. For questions about donating to SitW via stock, DAF, or other assets, please contact Phayvanh Luekhamhan at: director@cal-vt.org
