THE ASK is a new play by Matthew Freeman (Silver Spring, That Which Isn't), and directed by Jessi D. Hill (2024 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Nominated Small).

What does it cost to get what we need? With comedic precision, THE ASK dissects a tense visit between a struggling, young fundraiser and an affluent liberal donor, as they navigate the treacherous power dynamics at the heart of charitable giving.   

Theater Accident's ten year history includes exciting productions like THE HOLLOW, THE SEA THE MOUNTAINS THE FOREST THE CITY THE PLAIN, THAT WHICH ISN'T, THE ZEBRA SHIRT OF LONELY CHILDREN and WHY WE LEFT BROOKLYN; audio dramas such as BACK AT THE START (with David Greenspan), PREDICTIONS, and PLACES I HAVE HEARD VOICE. 

THE ASK is our return to live production for the first time since 2019 and our first production in Manhattan since 2013. We're thrilled to bring this challenging new piece to audiences, and need your help to make sure we have the budget to bring it to life in the most vivid way.

Thank you for supporting Theater Accident!
