@arianmoayed has a big ask - we are close to reach our original fundraising goal at end of our fiscal year but here’s the truth: we still need to raise an additional $30,000 to end the year strong. Waterwell is going through challenges and existential setbacks that are rocking the entirety of the non-profit arts world. YOU can make a difference with a donation of $50, $500, $1,000, $5,000.
Please put your favorite memories of Waterwell in the comments so we can all remember the vitality and necessity of creative work that inspires and builds community.
And - anyone who gives more than a $1,000 will get a special thank you from a Succession star
Please make a donation before June 30!

Today’s 20 Stories for 20 Years is brought to you by Simone Immanuel and Danielle Davenport, two cast members from Waterwell’s Production of “7 Minutes” by Stefano Massini! This production, which centered on questions around labor, offered audience members the opportunity to hear from several prominent leaders in the current labor movement through talkbacks and community events. In addition to producing Riveting Stories, Waterwell seeks to illuminate lived, human experiences within complex civic questions.
Head to the link in our bio to help us Fill the Bucket and ensure that we can continue telling Riveting Stories that matter.
Waterwell is creating theater that moves people and illuminates the importance of viable policy solutions, inspiring people to fight for change. In 2024, we reached both the power-brokers and the grassroots audiences that are building power. Visit the link in our bio to donate and support this critical work.
Waterwell was commissioned by the Council on Foreign Relations to create an original work about refugees and resettlement which was performed in their historic New York building this past February. The three part event brought audiences into the impossibly high-stakes final interview that a person seeking refugee status in the U.S. has to go through and then into an orientation meeting for @WelcomeCorps - a revolutionary new State Department program where regular people can sponsor refugees when they arrive in the U.S., an initiative that will greatly expand how many people we can welcome each year. This was followed by a panel discussion with prominent thought leaders in this field: David Milliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, and Gregory Maniatis who led efforts to turn the profound concepts at the heart of WelcomeCorps into an urgently needed new government program.
