Help US help UP - Unboxed Productions - a mostly online, live theater company. Opened on November 20, 2020!

We are UP - Unboxed Productions! We are bringing live theater to the online audience.  What is UP? We are an inter-generational team of theater creatives. At present we have approximately 40 members of our creative and support team from LA to Portland, Oregon to Ohio, Dallas, Santa Rosa and Indiana to NYC and Florida. We have open auditions 3 times year. A portion of this gofundme will help our actors to be live and present and vibrant for our audience and give us the ability to have quality live, online theater so that we can GIVE BACK to others which we do with every production.

Your continued support helps us to upgrade to the speediest online platform, helped provide for home studio equipment for our actors, help with our publishing licensing fees. Donations big and small mean the world to us in theater and now your donations are going to help pay us pay stipends for directors and tech support.

 Our first show is the one that started it all: Unboxing in Biloxi and UIB opened on November 20 and 21 2020, with a gala opening featuring pre show live music. To follow our progress, please join our group page, Unboxed Productions on facebook.
