<\/em><\/p>\nWith its \u201cOne City, Many Stages\u201d season centering resilience and committed to urgent storytelling from a keen pool of talented artists-in-residence and hometown collaborators, Long Wharf Theatre\u2019s member-supported revolution invites longstanding patrons to join them in producing its next fifty years of world premieres turned award-winning Broadway transfers.<\/p>\n
As thought leaders in the movement to upend systemic racism\u2014and proponents of creating pathways to accessibility for all\u2014Long Wharf Theatre plans to reclaim its legacy together with sustainers excited by the visionary leadership of new Artistic Director, Jacob G. Padr\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
In keeping with its mission-driven composition, perks of Long Wharf Theatre membership aren\u2019t run-of-the-mill benefits: underneath each incentive is proof of an organization living its mission statement. Case in point, choosing to partner with New Haven restaurants to offer 10% off take-out orders wasn\u2019t simply a \u201cthis is what you get\u201d opportunity. Instead, Long Wharf Theatre observed which of its neighbors were suffering and how mutual aid would be possible.<\/p>\n
By driving its members to support local restaurants, Long Wharf Theatre could offer a savings to its members while working to ensure the survival of another important aspect of New Haven\u2019s culture and economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be heartless of us to act as if theatres are the only institutions feeling the effects of COVID-19. Small businesses of all sorts need support,\u201d remarked Managing Director, Kit Ingui. Adding, \u201cthere are several layers to every community. For us, \u2018community\u2019 is an evolving and unending conversation between the people and places that make New Haven our home. Since the pandemic began, we\u2019ve pledged to buy local as a staff, and have voiced our support of local shops at every turn. Broadening that support as a \u2018benefit\u2019 of this unique opportunity to join our next steps is only right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Equally, Long Wharf Theatre\u2019s pledge to partner with local creatives is activated by its announcement of a peer-reviewed journal comprising articles, essays, one-act plays, prose, dramatic criticism, and visual art. The inaugural issue, Kaleidoscope\u2014accessible digitally, and as a printed keepsake for members\u2014promises to offer many first-ever bylines for talented New Haveners as Long Wharf Theatre vows to amplify rarely heard voices within its community.<\/p>\n
Perks aside, Long Wharf Theatre\u2019s member-supported future is a telling approach that, if successful, paves the way for theatres to survive lost revenue from shuttered doors. For Long Wharf Theatre, being a hallmark of artistic innovation comes with the support of its community. Long Wharf Theatre is asking each of its fans: do you have ten dollars a month to support theatre-making in your community? If so, you\u2019re not just a fan, you\u2019re a member.<\/p>\n
