OUR GOAL
Quite simply, NYSX is growing and to do that functionally, we need to raise $50,000 during this campaign. You can be a part of our success. With your support we are able to continue to fulfill our mission by producing innovative, engaging, community-building work that bridges artistic, political, social, and economic divides. This year we are continuing not only our global expansion of The Sonnet Project, but also our INTERSECTIONS community outreach and education program.
OUR WHY
Just about everyone agrees that Shakespeare's stories are great. But his plays and poetry also have the power to bring people together, and to explore and develop the human capacity for love, empathy, compassion, desire, and learning. Indeed, for four centuries, audiences all over the world have used Shakespeare’s work to make sense of the world around them. Now, as we seem to reach new depths of division and chaos, we need your support to create strong and diverse work to bridge those divides and bring people together.
OUR HISTORY
