Tier5: the past never felt so now
Tier5's 2025 End-of-the-Year Fundraiser
Tier5 needs your help to make 2026, our tenth year of producing theatre, the best yet!!
New York, NY, US
As we are about to enter our TENTH YEAR of producing theatre, Tier5 is calling on our patrons and supporters to help us fundraise for our upcoming 2026 season.
2025 was another big year- we presented a full production in NYC, a collaborative full production with Southwest Shakespeare Company in Arizona (nominated for four AriZoni Awards for Theatre Excellence- including Best Overall Production- Play and Outstanding New Writing), and continued our partnership with The Tank: presenting four staged readings of brand new works (including our 2nd ever SpookyFest series). We reached new audiences, included new artists, and provided new opportunities for both those on stage and off.
The dream for 2026 is to present two full productions (including reviving a Tier5 fan favorite show), as well as two new play festivals, each consisting of 3 new play readings, but fact of the matter is: creating theatre in the current landscape is EXPENSIVE.
And that's where we need your help!
The biggest expense for every production is renting our theatre space and making sure that our actors, creatives, and designers are compensated. With shows that feature as many as 25-30 people on the production, making sure our talent is compensated in a small way can add up!
OUR GOAL & MISSON
For Tier5 in 2026, we are looking to raise $5,000 before the end of the year, in order to guarantee we can move forward with our plans for the season: making sure we feel financially secure and ready to continue creating exceptional and boundary pushing art that reframes classical texts, tropes, and moments in history, and places those previously excluded from the narrative front and center.
What this fundraiser will help cover:
- Stipends for our actors, creatives, designers, and talent. It's vitally important to us at Tier5 to compensate all for their time.
- Theatre and rehearsal space rental. Having a theatre to perform in and a space big enough to rehearsal our main stage productions is an absolutely necessity.
- Insurance coverage. One of the less glamorous parts of the process, but making sure we're insured to create a safe place for our teams is a must!
- Printing. From scripts, to posters, to programs- it all adds up.
- Filling out our costume, props, scenic, and lighting budgets. Help us make the visions of designers dream up come to life exactly how they want them to!!
- Any other bits and bobs that come along, because they ALWAYS come along.
Since Tier5 is fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, your donation can be partially or completely tax deductible! Wow!
We understand that times are difficult right now for many us, so any size contribution will be vitally and dearly appreciated. Art is absolutely vital right now, and creating spaces to safely create that art is of utmost importance- and you’re support will help make that happen!!
Thank you in advance for you support.
