2026 Summer Sprint

June 17, 2026 by Mark Andrews

Hello Azuka Friends & Family!

Something powerful happens when people gather together.

They listen. The connect. They act.

That’s what our Summer Sprint is about.

Over the next 10 weeks, we’re working to raise $10,000 to build on our collaboration with Simpatico Theatre—to re-imagine what it means to make theater in this city, to support the captivating new work you’ve come to expect, and to ensure that cost is never a barrier to experiencing our work through Pay What You Decide ticketing.

And today, it starts with you.

At a time when so much pulls us apart, choosing to support theater is a meaningful act. It says that shared experiences still matter.

This season, we felt it in the room—in the audiences who showed up for 1 Pound 4 Ounces, filling every seat, leaning in, and carrying the story with them long after the lights came up; and in the excitement built around Class C, a play that invited us into complexity, conversation, and the kind of experience that only live theater can offer.

Will yours be one of the first gifts in?

Give Now

We’ll be sharing updates in the coming weeks so you can see the difference your gift is making.

Thank you for being here at the start.

Allison Heishman
Artistic Director

Mark H. Andrews
Managing Director

Autumn Blalock
New Play Development Director

P.S. The first 24 hours always matter most. If our Summer Sprint speaks to you—don’t wait. All Day 1 donors will get a unique sneak peek into our 27th Season! Click here to be part of Day 1. Donate today.
