Relive the Gala, and Give to TCG

"That’s why I’m so excited to announce the launch of a special Artist Relief Fund to provide $500 micro-grants to artists. Fifty-one percent of funds raised right now will go to those grants, and at least 51% of all of the micro-grants will be awarded to BIPOC artists. So far, our incredible gala supporters - all of you - have already funded over 40 micro grants. Now 40 is a very nice round number but this is TCG’s 60th birthday and so I just feel it would be disrespectful to stop before we hit 60."
-Nikkole Salter, TCG Board Chair (and runner-up to TCG Gala Disco Queen)

Please Give to Get us to 60 Micro-Grants for 60 Years.

Thank you for joining us at TCG’s 60th Anniversary Gala: Our Stories! From incredible performances that brought the virtual house down, to a special appearance from TCG’s chief pup Jack, to a full-on disco battle royale at Shequida’s afterparty, last night was one to remember. It was a true joy to share space with you as we celebrated our brilliant honorees, the Performing Arts Alliance and Ricardo Khan.


A replay of the night’s festivities is available now on TCGgala.org. In the meantime, here are two ways to keep the good times going:

Support TCG & the Artist Relief Fund
Now until the end of May, 51% of all donations made via TCGgala.org will go directly to TCG’s forthcoming Artist Relief Fund, providing $500 micro-grants to artists experiencing financial hardship during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Help us get to 60 grants for 60 years of TCG!

Read the American Theatre-inspired Gala Journal
Our digital Gala Journal looks and reads just like a print issue of American Theatre magazine! Click here to read exclusive articles on PAA and Ricardo Khan, a special ‘Role Call’ feature, and an essay from Zelda Fichandler that is just as relevant today as when it was first published 35 years ago.

 
Thank you again to everyone who made the Gala special, and we look forward to more celebrations as TCG continues to commemorate our Diamond Anniversary year!

With Thanks and Love,

Your TCG Family and Jack
