Brown Paper Box Co. hasn't added a story.
Dear Friends -
Hello! I am Kristi Szczepanek, proud Artistic Director of Brown
Paper Box Co. Today, I invite you to be a part of Chicago’s vibrant
storefront theatre tradition. Storefront theatre provides a place to
take risks, tell diverse stories, and introduce new artists. Brown
Paper Box Co. transforms intimate spaces around Chicago to connect
audiences directly to the heart of our shared human experience. Join
the thousands of audience members who have already supported our
work over the last eight years.
We ask your help to create innovative Chicago theatre and
bring our 2019/2020 season to life!
Often, smaller companies such as ours are able to produce a few
lavish productions or a “one-hit wonder,” but are unable to survive
long-term due to a lack of planning and responsible budgeting. Since
Brown Paper Box Co.’s first production, we have committed to using
our funds strategically while continuing to improve both our
operations and the quality of the art we produce. We need your help
to bring “theatre, plain and simple” to Chicago audiences.
Your donation allows us to:
●
Pay artists fairly.
We have gained a reputation as a company actors want to work
with because we value their time and talent. To continue these
relationships, we need your help to increase artist stipends. Brown
Paper Box Co. needs to stay competitive and consistent with industry
standards to showcase the high-quality talent audiences have come to
expect from us.
●
Make shows that look great.
We need funding for building materials, costumes, and
additional personnel to improve our design elements. By providing
more resources to our designers, you help make us eligible for
additional industry recognition.
We need your help to bring these stories to life. How far will
your dollars go? A donation of j
ust $10 can cover the cost of an hour of rehearsal, while $40
would cover an entire evening.
Artist stipends are around $200 and performance spaces
average around $1,000 per week.
Whatever your donation may be, it will add up to one beautiful
year of poignant and personal Chicago theatre.
Thank you for supporting live theatre!
Sincerely,
Kristi Szczepanek
Artistic Director
