CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Root Us In the LES


wild project needs to raise additional funding through federal, state, local, community and foundation resources in order to take out a low-cost mortgage on the building. The urgency of the campaign is real, and we will need everyone’s help to meet this goal!

Programs

wild project has created several program initiatives that provide opportunities for theatre companies, performance artists, dance companies, musicians, and filmmakers with more affordable access to Wild Project’s 89-seat theatre space.

wildprojectTV

wildprojectTV gives artists and creators across theater, dance, film, spoken word, music, and visual arts the resources to transform their theater content into impactful films, live-streams, and theater-on-film using wild project’s 89-seat theater as a production sound stage.

Lights Up on Theater

Lights Up on Theater is a partnership program with the Educational Alliance that provides theater education workshops to local 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students who attend the EA’s Summer Rising program.
