Project Number One
Project Number One was initially launched in 2020 as a job creation program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and record unemployment in our field. It was also an experiment in prioritizing living wages for artists, even when faced with extraordinary challenges.
As theaters across the City reopen, we are excited that the transformative experience of Project Number One will continue! During this time of cultural and civic recovery, the program will evolve to include: ongoing staff positions for artists, budget transparency, and significant increases to production fees and salaries. More details will be announced soon.
