Support a Theatre that Transforms

Why I’m Raising Funds for NCTC

Theatre has always been a powerful part of my life — a space where stories can spark change, voices can be heard, and identities can be celebrated. That’s why I’m raising funds for New Conservatory Theatre Center (NCTC), a place that embodies all of that and more.

NCTC is a hub for queer and allied voices, creating bold, inclusive theatre that inspires reflection and connection. From nurturing the next generation of performers through youth education programs to amplifying LGBTQ+ stories onstage, NCTC is changing lives — and I want to help keep that work going strong.

My goal is to raise $500–$1500 to support:

• Paying artists fairly, especially trans, non-binary, and BIPOC creatives

• Expanding arts education for queer youth and their allies across the Bay Area

• Producing transformative theatre that uplifts, educates, and entertains

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to making theatre that reflects and strengthens our diverse community. If you’ve ever seen yourself in a story, found healing in a performance, or believe that the arts can create change — I hope you’ll consider giving.

Thank you for helping me support a theatre that’s changing the world, one spotlight at a time. This is my home theater in SF and I appreciate your support so much.
