Support La MaMa
For more than 60 years, we have experienced the power of art and storytelling to break barriers, foster empathy, and dismantle oppressive ways of seeing. Dedicated to the artist and all aspects of the theater, La MaMa is a vital thread in the cultural fabric of New York City and beyond.Your support is vital to our success! La MaMa exists because of our incredible community. By making a donation today, you are helping us provide a platform for artists from all backgrounds to share new work. As we celebrate our 63rd Season, we thank you for being on this journey with us.
Capital Campaign
The $24 million capital renovation of La MaMa’s legendary 74A East 4th Street building has preserved its historic façade and reimagined its interior with ADA accessibility, flexible performance spaces, and new digital tools that allow the artists’ work to reach beyond the four walls of the theatre. Awarded the prestigious Lucy G. Moses Award as well as the Regina Kellerman Award for historic preservation of the landmark facade, this building is the future of artist and audience engagement locally, online, and around the world.
PLEASE HELP US FINISH THE JOB!
Although construction is finished, and the building is a resounding success, La MaMa is dealing with a crippling $3.5 million shortfall due to construction costs skyrocketing during the pandemic, We need your help to meet this challenge and ensure that underrepresented artists of different identities, ideologies, and aesthetics have a creative home in the East Village for decades to come.
More than a theatre company, La MaMa is a support system for artists who take risks and dare to imagine better futures. By leveraging technology to reach new audiences, we can bring marginalized artists to the forefront of our culture, reshape how we think about and experience art, and ultimately transform our cultural narrative.
To do this and more, La MaMa must CLOSE THE GAP!
Protect the La MaMa Archive
Help us preserve La MaMa’s treasured archive materials!
The La MaMa Archive is a one-of-a-kind resource documenting, preserving, and interpreting the legacy of nearly 160,000 artists who have made La MaMa their creative home to explore new forms of expression since 1961. Without the proper environmental controls, our entire collection is at risk of deterioration.
We must raise $51,480 to match the National Endowment for the Humanities grant to put critical climate control measures in place. Donations to the La MaMa Archive will go directly to improving our space and protecting the work of thousands of groundbreaking artists for future generations.
