COMPETENCY - Respect for artists and professionalism

DEDICATION - Full commitment to each individual project. 

HOW YOUR GENEROSITY HELPS US

• We are raising $12,000 to fund our first season -- including Spring Awakening by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik and Blackbird by David Harrower.
• All funds will be going towards production rights, rehearsal & performance space, hiring designers & actors, props, costumes etc.
• If you donate, your generosity will be publicized by us on various platforms, including social media, company website, and event programs.
• As a donor, you will receive future benefits as well — this could be invites to shows, free swag, or more! Details to follow.

Starting a theatre company with no startup funding is a daunting task. With your help, Blank Theatre Company will be able to bring quality musicals and plays with relevancy to today’s issues to the north side of Chicago. We believe that Blank Theatre Company is a necessary company, providing a new experience in Chicago theatre. We strive to use known works to bring modern-day issues to light while raising the voices of others. Our goal is to bring originality and new importance to classic works. Our hope is that by sourcing contributions, we can bring together a larger community of people who care for and are invested in this work. We humbly ask you to support Blank Theatre Company as we grow and sustain our future so that we can all be connected through this art. 

If you are unable to contribute financially, we ask you to please share our campaign with your family and friends, post about us on all your social media platforms, and come out and support us at events!  Any help you can bring to our theatrical future is appreciated beyond words.

With kindness,

The Staff at Blank Theatre Company
