New Conservatory Theatre Center

Your Stories. Our Stage. All the Live Long Gay.

This Pride season, your gift fuels the vibrant queer theater and youth education programs that make NCTC a lifeline for so many. Join us in raising $15,000 this #GiveOutDay to uplift LGBTQIA+ voices on stage, in schools, and in our community.

Why Your Support Matters Now

In today’s climate, queer stories and voices face unique challenges. Funding for arts and LGBTQ+ programs is being reduced. The urgency to sustain a thriving queer theatre ecosystem has never been greater. With your help, NCTC can continue to:

• Provide free or low-cost programming to underserved communities

• Expand outreach and access for youth and families

• Elevate intersectional queer narratives that reflect the full spectrum of LGBTQ+ life

Together, We Are Stronger

Every donation, big or small, fuels NCTC’s ability to create theatre that matters. It helps us amplify voices that have too long been silenced, foster new generations of queer artists, and build a vibrant, inclusive community that reflects all of us.

Thank you for standing with NCTC and for giving loud and proud. Together, we take our pride back

on stage, in the classroom, and beyond.

About NCTC:

Since 1981, New Conservatory Theatre Center (NCTC) has been a sanctuary—a home where bold queer stories take flight, and young voices find their wings. We believe theater is more than performance; it is the beating heart of community, a place where light breaks through shadow, and every story is a spark that kindles hope.

This Pride season, your gift is a bridge—a vibrant thread woven into the fabric of our shared journey. With your support, NCTC breathes life into:

🎭 Mainstage Productions 

Stories that dance with laughter and courage, dramas that stir the soul—our stages echo with the joyful resilience of queer lives. From To My Girls to Pride Cabaret, each performance is a celebration of connection, of love that defies silence and time.

🎓 Education Programs 

Over 3,000 young hearts and minds across the Bay Area find strength here, discovering their own voices through the magic of theater. In these classrooms, creativity blossoms, empathy grows, and the fierce beauty of self-expression takes root—where once there was only quiet.

📝 New Voices / New Work 

NCTC nurtures the seeds of tomorrow’s queer stories—commissioning playwrights and artists whose words and visions reveal the vast spectrum of our truths, dreams, and lives yet unwritten.

In a world that still challenges our existence and questions our stories, your generosity is a beacon. It proclaims that queer voices will not only be heard—they will sing, soar, and transform. Your gift sustains a space where art heals, education empowers, and community thrives.

Join us—be part of this radiant movement of joyful resilience and fierce pride. Together, we illuminate the way forward, crafting a future where every queer life is celebrated, protected, and lifted high.
