DONATE TO THE TENT
THE TENT THEATER COMPANY will use your donation to fulfill its mission to nurture, support, and advocate for Elder American playwrights and cross-disciplinary theater makers, fostering connections among them and promoting their artistry and wellness to the larger community. The Tent celebrates and attends to writers in the totality of their artistic journeys. Founded in 2022, The Tent has assembled a group of member playwrights to investigate the issue of ageism in the theater, specifically how playwrights have been affected, and what services and support this group needs.

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
As an organization that supports elder artists, The Tent encourages the idea of legacy. What we leave behind to support the next generations can in some ways define who we are now. There will always be more Tent members joining up and it is our hope that through legacy giving we can support them.
