Hello Azuka Friends & Family!

We’re already 38% of the way toward our $10,000 Summer Sprint goal and our board has extended their match challenge! Every gift will continue to be matched over the next week!

That support is helping Azuka do something we have always believed matters: give bold new plays the time, trust, and resources they need to become fully realized productions.

We know a new play doesn’t arrive at first rehearsal finished. It grows through conversation, revision, experimentation, and the work of Philadelphia artists taking creative risks together.

Your support makes that process possible. It allows us to:

Give artists meaningful time in the rehearsal room
Develop new plays like this season's Play On! with care rather than rushing them to the stage
Keep our events accessible through Pay What You Decide, so cost does not determine who gets to experience our work

We are proud of how far we have come, but there is still more ground to cover.

Reaching our $10,000 goal will help ensure that the voices of Philly’s playwrights do not have to wait for the “perfect” financial conditions to be heard, and that audiences across Philadelphia can continue discovering brave, surprising stories without a traditional ticket-price barrier.

That is what your Summer Sprint gift supports: not simply another production, but a place where new voices are taken seriously, artists are given room to be ambitious, and everyone is invited into the experience.

Support our summer sprint

Thank you for helping us build what comes next.

Warmly,

Allison Heishman
Artistic Director

Mark H. Andrews
Managing Director

Autumn Blalock
New Play Development Director
