Become A Part of Phare Play

Phare Play, our little theatre company, has worked long and hard for three seasons and has not only been successful in garnering great reviews, but has thrived in a crappy economy where theatrical productions are down and actors can't find work.

So we want to end our third season - a season of just comedies - with a bang. We're trying to raise $9000 to end on a fantastic note. It would just take 360 people to donate only $25. That's what I'm asking you for today. All donations are fully tax deductible due to our sponsored artist status with the Field - a non-profit organization supporting the arts.

We are currently fundraising to cover costs on our June/July shows. Ideally, we'd love to run "Arsenic and Old Lace" by Joesph Kesselring and "No Sex Please, We're British" by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriott for three weeks at a nice venue with a set, costumes, the whole nine-yards. Both are fantastic farces that would give at least 25 actors great parts and a nice sized run in a good venue as well as provide audiences with an affordable and outrageously fun night in a bad economical time.

So please donate $25 or what you can (even $10 would be great and obviously, feel free to donate more!) so that we can continue to bring great theatrical experiences to New York.

We would like to thank the following people for their contributions to and support of Phare Play Productions.
