GiveBIG GiveNOW to PFP!

Today, GiveBIG! And tomorrow is GiveBIG! Support Pork Filled Productions both days! 

Last year, we raised over $2,500 for THE BROTHERS PARANORMAL, part of a rolling world premiere that also hit New York Minneapolis, Indianapolis and Portland. We were proud to surprise and please the playwright, who loved seeing how we, as the only non-Equity house, compared to the others.  

This year, we’re aiming at $2,500 to support more new scripts for UNLEASHED 2020 to promote more POC playwrights and more local theatre artists. The first UNLEASHED produced four scripts other theatres wanted to produce, and we’re itching to match or surpass that!

A huge thanks to our early donors, Bob Flor, Teresa Carns, Christopher Newell, Chanya Swartz, Mason Wiley, and Catherine Kettrick who took advantage of our matching funds. There’s still room for you to double your impact, so GiveBIG right now!

Thank you for including Pork Filled Productions on your list of charitable giving. We can’t continue to create those inclusive universes of fun without you!
