GIVE THE GIFT OF THE ARTS

https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/718535

Now available online, we are accepting donation to provide shows to NYC schools and organizations AND ticket packages to see our shows in Times Square.

Click link https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/store/29075 and choose DONATE A SHOW or DONATE 20 TICKETS.

Improvisational Shows and Workshops are amazing cultural arts experiences but also promote literacy, communication and team management skills. Bad enough the arts education is becoming more and more scarce, it has come to our attention that NYC schools no longer include any sort of public presentation training. We seek to help bridge this gap with our Improv workshops and residency programs, giving NYC students the skills to get better jobs, as well as better perform in interviews. Good communication skills are one of the most important in the work force including jobs in sales, service and management.

With each of the following you can choose the recipient of the package or we will pair up your generous donation with a special needs organization from our list. We get calls and emails daily form schools and programs that wish to participate but lack the funds.

DONATE A SHOW: We travel to schools nation wide charge $800 for a show ($1200 for two back to back) These rates are well below the average (WAY BELOW premiums) for a 4-5 actor show on our level. Similar companies charge as much as $2000 or more for one 40 minute program. Improvisation allows us to charge less thanks to no writers, flexibility in casting and lack of major set-up time. Still NYC schools, especially TITLE ONE, have very little budget for these programs. Most have very little or NO PTA support to fill these gaps like the rest of the country. As little as we charge many of these schools still cannot afford.
$500 for one show https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/store/29075
$5000 (10 at $500) for a week of shows https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/store/29075

DONATE A WORKSHOP: Our two hour workshops are great ntroduction to the art of Improv AND great masterclasses for experienced performers. We offer these same workshop to corporations teaching 6-7 figure income managers and staff to better communicate. Our goal is to teach more and more students these skill prior to joining the work force.
