Every May, Parity Productions celebrates our birthday with our signature month-long annual fundraising campaign, #Pledge4Parity. On May 16, 2016, Parity Productions arose from two separate longstanding non-profits – one a theatre production company, the other an advocacy organization for women in theatre – and immediately set to work serving women, trans, and gender-expansive artists in New York City theatre. 

What the Pledge Is

A fundraiser | to support Parity Productions’ mission to empower women, trans, and gender-expansive artists in theatre.

A celebration | of Parity’s accomplishments in the past year and how we are changing the theatrical landscape, with the help of supporters like you.

An invitation | to learn more about Parity’s mission, our productions and advocacy initiatives, and the artists we support.

An engagement tool | to educate theatregoers about the state of gender parity in New York City theatre and what we’re doing to improve it.

 

Why the Pledge is Different

It’s different because we’re different.

Parity Productions:

  • develops and produces work by women, trans, and gender-expansive playwrights

  • follows a 80% gender parity hiring practice for all our creative teams from table readings to full productions

  • provides tools to make it easier for our colleagues in the industry to practice 50% gender parity hiring in creative teams

  • models the change we wish to see in the NYC theatre industry.

Your donation helps us stage unique plays from underrepresented voices. You're actively supporting those underrepresented artists and their voices by helping us continue to champion change.
