Basement Theatrics presents Kenneth Lonergan's THIS IS OUR YOUTH, a gripping, thrilling snapshot of 36 hours in the life of three young adults in the Upper West Side in 1982.

Featuring three fresh actors and helmed by BT's artistic director Moshe Henderson, THIS IS OUR YOUTH is an exploration of Lonergan's rich, iconic text. Our goal is to share the play with our artistic community and follow the threads tying the Reagan era to today, and how personal and political uncertainty manifest in the next generation.

As artists, we are determined to bring this show to its truest life. Producing a play in New York City is no small feat, so today we are asking you to help us achieve this production.

We are working to raise $8,000 to cover the costs of production: the rights, venue, costumes, set, props, technical expenses, and more. Thanks to several generous donors, we are $5,000 away from our goal, with nine weeks to go. If you're able to support, we'd love for you to donate to help bring THIS IS OUR YOUTH to life.

This production will not be possible without your generosity. We have a number of special ways to say "thank you," listed under "Rewards." That said, any donation would be an amazing help.

More information about tickets will be shared in the coming weeks. Thank you!!

About Basement Theatrics:
Basement Theatrics is a collective of artists who celebrate the process of creating theatre in the rehearsal room. We honor the craft and the time it takes to develop substantive work—prioritizing experimentation and discovery. We believe that focusing on development allows artists to take risks, refine their voices, and build connections that nourish the entire community. Embracing collaboration across departments, generations, and cultures, we recognize that deep artistic work is strengthened by diverse voices and perspectives. We value resourcefulness, making theater with what’s available and discovering new possibilities within constraints. We believe that artists supporting artists support more artists, and that when work is met with passion and discipline, it has the power to challenge, inspire, and transform culture. We are supporting theatre from the ground up.
