SUPPORT NEXTFEST
Taking Nextfest online means our parent company, Theatre Network, will not generate revenue from ticket sales this year. Though Nextfest has never been about making it big at the box office, a little goes a long way. Ticket sales help us continue to pay artists (many of whom make their first paycheck as artists with us!) and keep our Festival accessible to the community. Though we’re making significant changes to the way Nextfest is delivered this year, we stand by our commitment to making sure artists and staff are paid for their work.
That’s why we need your donations to carry us through this extremely challenging time.
