with your support, we're building accessibility, equity, diversity & Belonging
This year, we're aiming to hit phase two of our Dream Theater Expansion, including installed auditorium-style rows, more accessible seating for all bodies, and a lobby space to allow more connection-rich opportunities to bolster community!
Your support this year also builds our Equity Fund, which reimburses Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) for the extra effort of representation in a predominantly white space by providing 50% or 100% off classes for students and 25% increased pay for teachers. In 2024, we invested over $20,000 into diversity and equity initiatives. Your support is vital to making these initiatives sustainable for our small arts nonprofit.
With mind-blowing community support in 2024, we unlocked the $115,000 matching grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council to begin phase one in building our Dream Theater this summer. Our new theater will have a fully accessible stage, an improv-friendly set, improved lighting, and expanded audience seating. Your support helps us fulfill out mission to use the tenets of improvisation as a tool to amplify each person’s authentic voice and creativity in an inclusive, welcoming community inspired and empowered by the diversity of all members.
Thank you for making the Happy Valley HAPPIER!
