Bring NY Classical Back to Brooklyn
In 2027, NY Classical hopes to return to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park for a full extra week of performances, bringing FREE professional theatre to even more New Yorkers! To make it happen, we need to raise an additional $25,000 beyond our regular annual fundraising. We're inviting our community to help us reach this goal through our Special Season Support initiatives.
By participating with a new or additional gift of $500 or more, you'll become a member of our Brooklyn Welcome Committee, a special group of supporters helping make our Brooklyn homecoming possible!
