Benefit for The League of Independent Theatre
Donation protected
On December 21st, 2020, Crossing to Christmas - an original script written in the great tradition of Hallmark Christmas Movies - will be performed as an online reading in support of The League of Independent Theatre.
It's been a hard year for everyone. Independent theaters in NYC are no exception. LIT is an organization made up of the cities indie theaters that aims empower, unify, and protect the voices and interests of those who work and enjoy independent theater across the five boroughs of NYC.
This year one of LIT's main initiatives to #cancelrent. Performance venues cannot earn revenue, but are still required to pay rents month after month. As members of the United for Small Business NYC coalition, LIT is calling for the immediate freeze of commercial rents and mortgages for the duration of the COVID-19, including all phases of recovery.
