You did it, everyone! You helped us meet our end-of-year fundraising goal, thanks to a $25k matching grant by NNPN Board Member Kristen Vehill, together with NNPN founder David Goldman and Carol Dweck, in memory of Scott Vehill, one of NNPN’s founding Artistic Directors. Together, we can champion new plays, amplify bold voices, and connect communities through the power of theater.
We’re so grateful to you all.
