Keep THIS WEEK THIS WEEK alive! Let comedy reign!
Tax deductible
THIS WEEK THIS WEEK, the hilarious political sketch show, has entertained and enlightened audiences since March 2022. Guest stars such as Brendan Hunt (Ted Lasso), Steven Weber (Chicago Med), Rebecca Metz (Better Things), Ron Song (Jury Duty), and Josh Banday (Not Dead Yet) have joined forces with our core casts of crack comedians to tackle the big issues of the day. But we need your help. (You knew that was coming.) Box office receipts alone cannot sustain the mission of these comedy paratroopers. THIS WEEK THIS WEEK hopes to produce about 30 shows--each completely new!---in 2024 and each performance has standing costs of about $1000, so you see the math. The Open Fist Theater in Atwater Village is the nonprofit organization to which you'll make your tax deductible donation. No amount is too small.
If you are not familiar with THIS WEEK THIS WEEK, every Tuesday (okay, sometimes we take a week off), our talented and diverse group of writers from all over the USA submit funny sketches that offer keen insight into current events. On Wednesday, the managing editor selects and curates the scenes that are read through by the cast on Zoom on Wednesday night. The hour long show is rehearsed and presented in front of a live audience on Thursday night. With the 2024 election less than a year away, we want to carry on with our demanding but beloved process of satirizing news, sports, and entertainment.
The over 200 writers and actors that are regularly involved in this project are grateful for whatever you can donate. Help THIS WEEK THIS WEEK continue to share its unique lens on today's world!
