DEADLINE: February 2025

wild project has the unique opportunity to purchase our building, but if we do not come up with the funds to sign a contract by February 2025, our space will go on the market and will likely be sold to the highest bidder, forcing another beloved downtown performing arts space to close.

Please consider helping our theatre by making a donation. More can be read about our campaign below.

You may also donate on our Go Fund Me Page!

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.
