Prospect Theater Project

Today is an international day of giving! There are many ways one can get involved with Prospect Theater Project! PTP has been able to accomplish a lot during these turbulent times. We have reorganized and cataloged our props and costumes, and we are in the process of giving our K Street home a fresh coat of paint, digital signage, and a brand new box office. These improvements would not be made possible without the generosity and support of our community.... There are big things on the horizon for Prospect Theater Project. We hope you'll join us for these exciting times. #bigdayofgiving #may6 #giving #theater #donate #supportthearts #modesto #modestca

We are pleased to present our next On Her Shoulders reading, which will be LA NÉCESSITÉ DU DIVORCE (THE NECESSITY OF DIVORCE) by Olympe de Gouges. The live stre...am will be open from 2 pm May 22 to May 26 at 11:59 PM. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/153062266359 Olympe de Gouges was a French contemporary of Susanna Rowson, ON HER SHOULDERS' last featured playwright. De Gouges was an equally ardent feminist and abolitionist who is today best remembered for writing the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen". She maintained a very public political voice from 1788 through her writing, first of pamphlets and then of plays. De Gouges was executed in 1793 during the Reign of Terror for treason against the French Revolution, convicted in part by an unfinished play manuscript found among her papers. Written in 1790, THE NECESSITY OF DIVORCE is a comedy in which an incorrigibly roving husband realizes how much he loves his wife when he learns that divorce will soon be legal. The need for divorce had been promoted throughout the Enlightenment period of the 18th Century, but it was an especially hot topic in newly Revolutionary France. Those who advocated for divorce saw themselves as a "physicians of marriage"; divorce could heal an ailing institution. De Gouges' script precedes the enactment of progressive divorce laws by two years, and it conveys her own feelings about marriage. After the death of her much older husband, whom she had been forced to marry, she remained single and independent for the rest of her life, even though she had a long-term romantic relationship. Considered her best play, The Necessity of Divorce was nonetheless never produced in her lifetime.

Non-profit organizations like PTP depend on community support for all aspects of their operation. Ticket sales alone are not nearly enough to keep our doors open. Although PTP prides itself on wringing extraordinary production values out of a very modest budget, regularly occurring expenses are an ongoing challenge. These expenses include rent, facility maintenance, utilities, storage space, postage and office supplies, marketing, performance rights, construction materials, l...abor costs, props and costumes, equipment upkeep and repair, etc. In short, our survival depends on the generosity of our patrons and our community.PTP needs all manner of support. Cash gifts are, of course, always easily applied to the immediate needs of the project. The theater has, in addition, diverse service and in-kind gift needs. Please don’t be shy about asking; creative giving helps us both. All donations are eligible for tax deduction status as a gift to a California nonprofit and federally exempt (501C3) organization (Tax ID no. 77-056873). * * * #prospecttheaterproject #modesto #downtownmodesto #theater #localtheater #supportthearts #nonprofit #seasonofgiving See more
