From our world premiere of To a Flame, to our intimate new production of Fall on Your Knees to the Canadian premiere of the Tony-winning Jajaโs African Hair Braiding, your support means the artists who create each impactful moment in our upcoming seasons are well-compensated, cared for and able to focus on bringing excellent feminist theatre to Nightwoodโs stages.
DONATE TODAY to support fiercely feminist, bold, and inclusive theatre.
