We’re growing and we’re taking you with us…

Posted by Project Y - December 16, 2010

Our 2011 Fundraising Campaign is underway! We’ve grown tremendously over the past year and we owe that to some new enthusiastic company members and the support and encouragement of people like you. Yes, you!

If you’re just becoming familiar with us this past year, our company has quite an interesting history.

In 1999 Project Y’s founders united as artists fueled by an unorthodox model:make the highest level of theatre possible for 5 years and then disband.We were aware of the root causes in the struggles of theatre companies in America, and a limited life inherently conquered them.We shed the influence of external expectations and tackled the work that challenged and engaged us.And as a result, a remarkable groundswell of acclaim, support, and attention arose from audiences and artists alike.

After 5 years and 14 productions, we stayed true to our mission and dispersed to the top graduate training programs in the country, expanding our minds and our contacts.After naturally landing in New York City upon graduation, Project Y Theatre Company was re-launched in the spring of 2009.

Project Y is now primed to take another leap: expanded programming, more performances and longer runs, with grants and larger fundraising events in the works. As we sit on the precipice of growth in NYC, we need you now more than ever.

A 100% tax deductible donation will allow us to continue to foster the work of new artists and create theatre that is a vital part of our society.

Imagine what we could accomplish with your continued support! Looking forward to sharing our work with you in 2010…

Posted by Project Y - September 21, 2010

Project Y was honored to partner with Casting Director Judy Bowman to cast our current production of The Revival. Throughout the run, we’ve received some incredible reviews of our casting choices. See below:

“This is one of the best cast assemble for an Off-Off Broadway show in a long time, perfectly directed by Michole Biancosino…it’s certain to win over fans of good theater.”  – NY press

“What a perfect play for these times…an enormous tale and fortunate to have a cracker jack cast that is ready, willing, and more than able.”  – NY Theatre Guide

We got a chance to sit with Judy recently to discuss casting for the show and she offered some advice for aspiring young actors in NYC.

Tonight’s performance is Industry Night dedicated to the New York Theatre community. Visit www.broadwayoffers.com and use code: INDS for $15 tickets.
