On May 16, 2016, Parity Productions was launched from two separate longstanding non-profits:
a theatre production company and an advocacy organization for women in theatre.

Every May, Parity Productions celebrates our birthday with our signature month-long annual fundraising campaign, #Pledge4Parity. 

For this #Pledge4Parity, we are looking back on our first nine years, and also looking toward our next nine year cycle. 

To keep us moving forward and creating bold, innovative theater, our goal is $90,000 for our 2025 #Pledge4Parity awareness and fundraising campaign.

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

✨ A celebration of Parity’s accomplishments and progress 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 programming, vigorous new play development, 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, gender-expansive, and intersex playwrights

  • follows a 90% 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.
