LEARN MORE ABOUT MY MOTHER THE SUN

Introducing the Parity Community Spotlight!

So much feels out of our control right now.
What we can control is how we show up for our communities.

In 2026, Parity Productions is launching a new initiative: The Parity Community Spotlight.
Through this ongoing program, we will use our platforms to highlight theaters, organizations, and individuals in NYC and beyond who are building equity into their structures.

The Community Spotlight is about attention as action. It is about expanding the ecosystem rather than competing within it.

Parity has always believed that theater is not made in isolation. It is made through relationships, shared resources, and mutual care.
This program is one small but intentional way we are choosingto show up.

In only 90 hours, we reached 150 scripts for the 2026 Parity Development Award. Applications are now closed for this year.
Create your free profile on The Parity Database before next year’s applications open!

Parity Productions is thrilled to share that we received a $25,000 grant from New York State Council on the Arts to support much needed fundraising and marketing staffing.

In the spirit of making theatre accessible to all, our workshops and readings are free to attend! Help support our mission and keep our events free by donating:
