Theatre in the basement
of a pizza joint—how much
can that really cost?

A lot, actually. This season Impact’s budget is approximately $50,000. And that’s only because our actors, designers, and crew work on a shoestring. Why? Because we believe great theatre should be affordable. This isn’t “discount theatre”—this is making kickass theatre accessible to a new generation of theatregoers, people who would normally have gone to a movie but have taken that too-rare leap of seeing how exciting and personal live performance can be.

But Impact is not just about bringing new audiences in; we’re also a refuge for arts patrons who want something more from theatre. More intimate. More relevant. More immediate. Funnier. Tragedier. Holy-crap-that-was-awesome-ier. One thing we share with other companies, however, is that ticket sales don’t pay all the bills—or our dreams for a better Impact.
